The entire mass migration to our border and all its cascading ill
effects can be traced to one thing: the Flores settlement’s expansion
from children to family units by a single district judge. Flores is not a
constitutional provision, a statute, or even a court ruling. It is a
court settlement, designed as a temporary arrangement, that actually
runs contrary to statute and has been used as a catalyst to undermine
every bedrock law of sovereignty. After a full year of dithering, the
Trump administration is finally using its unquestionable power to modify
the settlement to finally end catch-and-release.
The Flores settlement, originally agreed upon in 1997 and modified in
2001, provided that government would only house alien children in
“non-secure, state licensed” facilities or release them expeditiously
until and unless the federal government writes a regulation to build its
own licensing scheme ensuring the safe and sanitary conditions of the
facilities. Given that there are no such state-licensed facilities, and
the feds, until now, have not created their own scheme, it forced them
to release unaccompanied minors expeditiously. In 2015, a California
judge applied Flores to children accompanied by a parent as well, an
order that was upheld by the Ninth Circuit the following year.
