End the Flores settlement on detention of children
What the document says“Congress must end the Flores Settlement Agreement by explicitly setting nationwide terms and standards for family and unaccompanied detention and housing.”
The Flores settlement sets limits on how long and in what conditions immigrant children may be held. The chapter asks Congress to end it by setting nationwide standards instead, and says those standards should allow large-scale use of temporary facilities such as tents.
What the document actually says“Congress must end the Flores Settlement Agreement by explicitly setting nationwide terms and standards for family and unaccompanied detention and housing.”

A court deal limits how children can be held. It sets how long and in what conditions. The book says Congress should end it. It says tents could then be used.
