I believe that there is a federal law that says that minors cannot be housed in adult prisons; I don;t think that even breastfeeding mothers can keep their babies with them. And the Flores consent decree does not permit illegal-alien minors to be detained for more than 20 days irrespective of where they are housed. We need for Congress to legislate on this matter to keep liberal judges from releasing all of those illegal aliens before their asylum cases are heard.
President Trump and Secretary Sessions were absolutely correct to end the catch-and-release policy that led asylum seekers to bring kids along (whether their own or someone else’s) in order to avoid detention while waiting for their asylum hearings, thus allowing them to flee and then not show up for their hearings. But we need Congress to fill in the gaps in the law so that legitimate family units are kept intact and we don’t have to deal with all of that negative publicity.
