Last week, lawyers involved in the Flores Settlement, the agreement that sets the precedent for outlining child welfare standards in detention, filed a temporary restraining order in federal court asking a judge to force the government to allow the facilities to be inspected by public health professionals and staffed by qualified medical professionals. By Friday, U.S. District Judge Gee issued an emergency order that instructed the Trump administration to give health experts access to detention facilities holding children to assess their medical state and ensure the conditions of the facility are "safe and sanitary." Several attempts have been made by the Trump Administration to delay taking any action on providing supplies or care and the judge has now issued a deadline of July 12 to file a joint status report on their mediation efforts, including what the government has done to mitigate the extreme and unhealthy conditions described by plaintiff attorneys.
