Federal judge rules that migrant children in desert camps need to be in safe and clean facilities | CNN Politics

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

52% : Gee concluded Wednesday that CBP should not hold minors in or direct them to "open-air sites, except for the amount of time DHS reasonably requires to prepare the minor and/or actively arrange for transport of the minor to a more suitable facility, as this behavior constitutes unnecessary delay.
50% : CNN has reached out to CBP for comment.
49% : Judge Dolly Gee wrote that US Customs and Border Protection does maintain legal custody over the minors in the open-air detention sites and has "decision-making authority over the health and welfare" of the children at those sites.
45% : In a court document filed in late February, children's rights attorneys argued that federal immigration officials directed migrants to those camps but failed to provide adequate food, water, shelter, and medical services.
41% : The Biden administration, however, argued that the minors had not been arrested by CBP and were therefore not in the legal custody of the agency.
