Trump Administration Moves to End Limits on Child Detention

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is moving to end a long-standing federal court agreement that limits how long immigrant children can be kept in detention. The move is almost certain to spark a new court fight over the government’s ability to hold families until their cases are decided. Because of those restrictions, parents and children caught trying to come into the country have been released into the U.S. while their asylum requests wind their way through the courts.
