First-hand accounts from immigrant families detained in Texas have shed light on dire conditions, including battles over clean water and inadequate medical attention. These testimonies are part of a legal motion aiming to protect the Flores Settlement Agreement, a policy ensuring safe conditions for children in federal custody.

The lawsuit opposes the Trump administration's attempt to end the agreement. Advocates argue that maintaining the Flores Settlement is increasingly crucial as the administration seeks to introduce indefinite detention measures for families. The situation underscores an urgent need for oversight and compliance within these detention centers.

With testimonies of inadequate resources, neglect of medical needs, and psychological trauma, the conditions at Texas facilities are alarming. The potential termination of the Flores Settlement could exacerbate these issues, leaving immigrant families vulnerable without enforceable standards for humane treatment.
