flag Over 900 children have been held in U.S. immigration detention beyond the 20-day limit since Trump’s second term began, causing severe psychological harm.

flag Children in U.S. immigration detention are being held beyond the 20-day limit set by the 1985 Flores settlement, with over 900 detained past that mark since President Trump’s second term began, including about 270 held more than 40 days. flag Families report severe psychological harm, including self-harm and anxiety, particularly among children with special needs, amid allegations of poor conditions and lack of care. flag Though the Department of Homeland Security claims the settlement no longer applies, courts have upheld the 20-day rule, and the administration’s challenge is pending. flag Facilities like Dilley in Texas, operated by CoreCivic, maintain they provide adequate care, but advocates say prolonged detention causes lasting trauma and undermines legal protections.
