Southwest Key’s unaccompanied minor shelters are part of a federal shelter system that was created as a result of the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement. After human rights lawyers filed a class action suit against the federal government for their inhumane detention of unaccompanied immigrant youth, the two parties reached the Flores Settlement Agreement. The agreement mandates the prompt release of immigrant minors from Border Patrol custody, (72 hours or less), before they are turned over to an agency within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that operates shelters and reunifies the children with their parents, relatives or a sponsor. This is the service that Southwest Key's unaccompanied immigrant children's shelters provide.
