Aatmja Kumari(Intern Journalist): The Trump judge was ordered by the federal judge on Friday not to lock the refugee children in hotels. US District Judge Dolly Geehe ordered the border agencies to stop the activity until September 15, under which refugee children are being locked up in hotels and said that the hotels should be closed as soon as possible Remove the children. Immigration agencies have fired 148,000 people crossing the US-Mexico border since March, citing the pandemic covid-19 as the reason. The Trump administration has argued that Judge Gee does not have the authority to ban the use of hotels.
The federal judge asked the Trump administration to leave their children locked up in hotels before the refugees were evacuated. This is a human rights violation. The Trump administration said public health was threatened by people crossing the border. The Advocate for Refugees argued that the administration was taking out the refugees by weaponizing the epidemic. The Trump administration has closed around 577 children in the hotel since March.
Private contractors in hotels monitor children and their families and generally do not allow them to leave the room. Families locked up in hotels say that they are given food regularly but do not have a telephone in their rooms. A Haiti refugee said that before being taken out, the contractor gave him and his wife a small baby with ice to swallow so that the temperature check would be correct before sitting on the plane.
