A recent inspection revealed that despite some improvements, many unaccompanied children remain traumatized and denied timely support in immigration detention centers, with several cases breaching acceptable holding limits.
The review highlighted specific failures in the handling of unaccompanied minors, with startling cases of children held for over 51 hours, raising concerns about their treatment and rights.
While progressing since 2022, the facilities still mismanage the care of vulnerable children, failing to provide essential mental health support needed for those arriving in distressing circumstances.
Evidence from the inspections shows a need for urgent reforms in immigration detention practices, particularly for young migrants who are prone to trauma and serious rights violations.
