The Trump Administration is planning on ending limits on child detention of migrants caught at the border. The Flores agreement is a 1997 court settlement that sets rules for how the government must provide a minimum standard of care for children in custody, and prevents the government from keeping them indefinitely. The Trump Administration's new rules will be formally published Friday, and will be challenged in court.
