一句话看懂
US attorneys file habeas petitions to free hundreds of immigrant children stranded in custody. The legal push targets indefinite detention without parents, a rare move for kids with sponsors.
背景
The Trump administration has indefinitely held hundreds of immigrant children without their parents or loved ones, according to a Guardian investigation. Lawyers from over 50 organizations have quietly built a project since this summer to file habeas corpus petitions for each child, arguing their detention is unjustified when a vetted sponsor is available. The effort comes amid broader legal aid cuts and increased enforcement, raising concerns about children's rights and due process.
