The Trump Administration Is Attempting To Bypass Flores Agreement
Download mp3 (8.17 MB)The Trump administration launched another attempt to modify existing immigration laws, this time, the so-called Flores agreement. As written, Flores v. Reno places requirements on holding times for undocumented minors in detention and rules on how they're treated.
