Judge Rules U.S. Government Must Release Immigrant Children in Detention

Description

A U.S. federal judge on Friday ordered the government to swiftly release immigrant children held at detention centers. The order affirms a July ruling that said some minors who crossed the border illegally were being detained in violation of a long-standing settlement. District Judge Dolly Gee in Los Angeles gave the administration of President Barack Obama until Oct. 23rd to comply with her order to release hundreds of unauthorized immigrant children--and in some cases their mothers--"without unnecessary delay." Last year, more than 68,000 children traveling without a parent entered the country.
