flag ICE held 400 unaccompanied minors past 20-day limit, violating court rules amid unsafe conditions.

flag U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) admitted that about 400 unaccompanied immigrant children were held in federal custody beyond the 20-day limit set by a court agreement, with some detained for over five months. flag The agency cited transportation delays, medical needs, and legal processing as reasons, but advocates say these do not justify violations of child protection standards. flag Reports detail unsafe conditions, including contaminated food, delayed medical care, injuries without treatment, and the use of hotels beyond the allowed 72-hour limit. flag A federal judge is set to review the situation, as concerns grow over ongoing failures to comply with court-mandated safeguards for minors.
