Immigrant Rights Group Sues ICE for Illegally Jailing 18-Year-Olds
MCALLEN, TX – SEPTEMBER 08: A boy from Honduras watches a movie at a detention facility run by the U.S. Border Patrol on September 8, 2014 in McAllen, Texas. The Border Patrol opened the holding center to temporarily house the children after tens of thousands of families and unaccompanied minors from Central America crossed the border illegally into the United States during the spring and summer. Although the flow of underage immigrants has since slowed greatly, thousands of them are now housed in centers around the United States as immigration courts process their cases.

An immigrant advocacy group filed a class action lawsuit on Monday (March 5) against Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) on behalf of immigrant teenagers who arrived in the United States alone and were subsequently detained in ICE centers after turning 18.
