By Ivan Pentchoukov August 10, 2021 Updated: August 10, 2021
Attorneys representing illegal immigrant children being held at emergency intake sites sued the Biden administration on Monday asking a federal judge to order the Department of Justice to comply with the terms of the landmark immigration agreement.
The lawsuit (pdf), filed against Attorney General Merricks Garland, alleges that the Department of Health and Human Services? (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is using unlicensed detention facilities to house migrant minors.
The plaintiffs allege that the children at these so-called emergency intake sites lack recreation and education, live in unsanitary conditions, are served raw or uncooked food and are served by staff untrained in taking care of children.
