Reuter: U.S. judge blocks Trump rule on migrant child detention
A U.S. judge on Friday blocked a Trump administration rule that would have allowed indefinite detention of migrant families, saying it was inconsistent with a decades-old court settlement that governs conditions for migrant children in U.S. custody.
This new regulation was set to go into effect next month. It would have meant families could be held for months or years as their case slowly made it through the judicial system.
