US immigration detention judicial oversight
Overview
A federal judge has appointed independent monitors to oversee compliance with the Flores Settlement Agreement by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Chief U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee appointed Andrea Sheridan Ordin as special master and Dr. Paul Wise as an independent monitor. These monitors are authorized to examine government records, visit detention facilities and hotels, and interview staff and detainees to ensure children are released without unnecessary delay and placed in the ‘least restrictive’ settings.
The appointment follows findings of numerous violations by ICE and CBP, including inadequate medical care and prolonged detention periods at facilities such as the Dilley lock-up. The legal oversight occurs amid broader challenges for immigrant families, who often face difficult choices between remaining in detention during lengthy deportation appeals or accepting deportation to avoid further confinement.
