I expect a lawsuit to follow since this executive order or execution of it actually violates the Flores Agreement which in part dictates how children would be held while in detention. I don’t know how ICE will execute keeping them in the least restrictive detention possible. There are not enough ICE detention centers in existence in this country to handle this kind of requirement. They will have to be held in other locations which will of course be deemed unsuitable by those who don’t want these children & their families (all illegal aliens, seeking to jump the line - true asylum seekers not included) in custody. How do you keep these children away from other adults not their family also a requirement for unaccompanied children, but should also apply in this case in order to keep them safe from strangers. If not followed a child will inevitably be harmed & a lawsuit will follow. Children who are being trafficked will continue to be under the control of their smuggler. People think this is a win, but ICE didn’t have the space to accommodate the influx as it was & now to keep family units together! Expect lawsuits from those families & mass releases from custody further encouraging the masses to continue to violate our laws & circumvent the existing system.
Those claiming asylum, many will probably be fraudulent or without merit, as in years past, because economic hardship, living in a criminal infested area & traumatized by gangs in your country, or country leadership that doesn’t provide for its citizens do not fall under asylum. See link below.

It is a good thing that everything in this nation is not run by the emotions of its citizens.
Whether this is a win remains to be seen, but people will feel better about it and what they think it says about this nation. Until they don’t when the next thing out of this is negative & sparks their ire.
