Legal Challenge Against Immigration Detention of Child with Cancer

The family of a 6-year-old boy with leukemia, recently arrested by ICE while attending an immigration court, has filed a lawsuit challenging his detention and seeking to prevent his deportation. This case is reportedly the first of its kind, addressing the legality of arresting children in court settings. The lawsuit highlights alarming conditions at Texas detention centers where migrant families, including children, are reportedly facing severe hardships. Advocates are raising concerns about the treatment of these vulnerable individuals, including reports of adults fighting children for access to clean water. As the family fights for the release of their son, immigrant-rights groups are opposing federal efforts to end protections for children in custody.
