The 1997 Flores Agreement that the Trump Administration is now attacking does not call for separating families.

Flores was a hard fought victory to prevent child abuse and detention.

Do not let anyone tell you otherwise

#ProtectFlores, a thread
Flores did three things:
1. Require govt. to release children from detention without delay
2. If sponsor isn't found, govt. is required to place children in least restrictive setting
3. Require govt. to set standards for care in detention for children

The Trump Administration, by blaming the Flores settlement agreement for their despicable policies, is literally trying to open the door to prolonged abuse and detention of children.

Do not let them come after Flores. nytimes.com/2018/06/14/us/…
