The Trump administration on Wednesday said it would unveil a new rule that will allow migrant families to be held indefinitely, ending a procedure known as the "Flores Agreement" that had required children to be held no longer than 20 days.
The decision is a momentous change in detainee policy that the administration has sought to make to provide a disincentive for people crossing the border.
“This rule allows the federal government to enforce immigration laws as passed by Congress,” acting DHS secretary Kevin McAleenan said in a statement.
Under the terms of the 1997 consent decree which eventually led to the 20-day limit in Flores, the regulation must be approved by the judge in the original case, Judge Dolly M. Gee of United States District Court for the Central District of California.
SNIP
This is why you don't allow exceptions. Once you have exceptions you set PRECEDENT.
One you have PRECEDENT to the courts you essentially have a new law.
Well this ought to make the Left happy - no more “family separations”.
Obama judge issuing injunction in 3.....2.....1....
It’s about time. Toddlers should not be jumping the border on their own anyway. Allowing them to do so or selling them to “coyotes” is child abuse anyway.
stays together...prays together.
Didn’t you read just what’s here?
Read the last few lines.
the regulation must be approved by the judge in the original case, Judge Dolly M. Gee of United States District Court for the Central District of California.
And the chances of her approving it are slim to none, and Slim just left town.
Yes, and they will likely cite PRECEDENT.

This part is insane. 1997? Reporting to the SAME judge 20 years later?
What were the odds that same judge would even be alive 20 years later?
Come on now. It’s a freeper rule that we don’t read the articles posted here.
She is alive. Appointed by Obama
LOL
It’s in the constitution as our God given right!!
Sometimes I make comments without reading the thread title!
Gee is an Obama judge who started in 2010.
She must have taken over the case.
The new rule is they can only be held until they ask to be sent home.
..and if they don’t like it, they can leave to their own countries?
“Well this ought to make the Left happy...”
I think not. They will be happy when they take the Prez out of office. All they want is power.
Here comes the communists judges with crap and it will be time to tell the federal court system to go to hell.
I have an idea: Put US embassies near (like 50 miles away)the border. Tell the “migrants” they have to go there to apply for asylum or entry visa.
I love Hispanics, but not ALL Hispanics.I feel for these people.
We need to get out of the Middle east and kick some A$$ in Central America (Think drug cartels, sex traffickers and Corrupt governments), so that these poor people can have some peace.
Why are we still in Germany after 70 years? Let them deal with it. Why should we have to pay for their free health care? (While they look down on us for our stupid policies)
Let the Russians take over Europe. At this point, it would probably be a good thing.
Let’s take care of our own. The Americas: North America, Central America and South America.These are our people.
And they’re not Semitic (Arabs and Jews). Let Europe take care of them. (They’re closer and have more money)
