- A federal judge has intervened to stop the Trump administration’s proposal to transfer teenage migrants to adult detention centers once they turn 18 years old.
- This decision comes after immigration rights groups mounted a successful challenge against the plan, arguing it posed significant risks to the well-being of these young individuals.
- The plan was aimed at moving migrant children who reach adulthood while in custody to facilities designed for adults, which raised concerns about their safety and the suitability of these environments for young adults.
- The ruling underscores the ongoing legal battles between immigration advocates and the government over the treatment of migrants, particularly vulnerable populations like minors.
- Immigration rights groups hailed the judge’s ruling as a victory for protecting the rights and safety of young migrants in the United States.
