Judge Rules Detention of Immigrant Mothers and Children “Deplorable”

HeadlineJul 28, 2015

A federal judge has issued a harsh condemnation of the mass detention of immigrant women and children, calling it “deplorable.” The ruling by U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee gives the Obama administration 90 days to either release the more than 2,000 women and children being held in two Texas facilities or to show just cause to continue holding them. Immigration lawyers say the ruling has already had a “groundbreaking” impact as Texas judges have started ordering women and children’s release without bond.
