- A federal judge has intervened to stop the Trump administration’s plan to move teenage migrants to adult detention centers when they turn 18.
- This decision comes as a result of a legal challenge led by immigration rights groups advocating for the protection of these young individuals.
- The judge’s ruling underscores the concerns about the safety and welfare of migrant children being placed in adult detention environments.
- Immigration rights advocates argue that transferring minors to adult facilities poses significant risks and fails to consider their best interests.
- This development is part of an ongoing legal and public debate over how migrant children should be treated within the U.S. immigration system.
- The halted plan involved automatically transferring the custody of migrant teens reaching adulthood to adult detention facilities, raising ethical and safety issues.
