What are the immediate consequences of terminating the Flores Settlement Agreement for the health and safety of detained immigrant children?

The Trump administration is seeking to terminate the Flores Settlement Agreement, which mandates basic rights and services for immigrant children in U.S. custody. This could lead to unsafe and unsanitary conditions, potentially harming children's health and well-being. Attorneys representing immigrant children have documented numerous instances of neglect and abuse in detention facilities, including inadequate medical care, unsanitary conditions, and verbal abuse by officers.
