Minors in migrant detention centers face severe hardships, including cold sleeping conditions, overcrowding, and lack of privacy in shared bathrooms. Human rights organizations are gathering testimonies to expose this treatment, contradicting claims by the Trump Administration that conditions have improved. The administration seeks to terminate the Flores Agreement, which has historically ensured minimum living standards for child detainees. A court hearing is expected to address these issues, focusing on the current treatment of children in these facilities compared to the standards established since 1997.
