NEW: In litigation over detention conditions for immigrant children (Flores), the 9th Circuit ruled that an order addressing claims of sleep deprivation and food/water/hygiene access issues didn't modify the original agreement, so it dismissed DOJ's appeal cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov/datastore/opin…
Sleep, dry clothes, and soap count as "safe and sanitary" conditions the govt must provide detained immigrant children, the 9th Circuit ruled today.

DOJ's "cramped" reading of the govt's obligations under a 1997 settlement was "untenable," the court held. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
9th Circuit: "Assuring that children eat enough edible food, drink clean water, are housed in hygienic facilities with sanitary bathrooms, have soap and toothpaste, and are not sleepdeprived are without doubt essential to the children’s safety."

The cameras largely disappeared at the DC federal courthouse after Mueller wrapped up his investigation, but they're back today – Michael Flynn is due for a status hearing at 11. First up, though, there's a hearing at 9:30 on how John Hinckley is doing, if anyone is interested
In court this morning, John Hinckley's lawyer said they're going to be moving in the near future (no definite timeline) for full, unconditional release — he's been out of St. Elizabeth's Hospital for several years, but with a number of conditions re: his movement and treatment
Hinckley's lawyer said one of the things they're considering is that he might want to move out to California at some point to pursue a job in the music industry — music therapy has been a big part of his treatment in Virginia

A federal judge in CA has restored a nationwide injunction blocking the Trump admin's new policy dramatically restricting asylum eligibility — we're now waiting to see what SCOTUS does with a pending petition by the govt to let them enforce the policy buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…
Here's the White House's response to today's order from a judge in CA restoring a nationwide injunction re: the Trump admin's new asylum policy: "This ruling is a gift to human smugglers and traffickers and undermines the rule of law."

Still waiting to see what SCOTUs will do.
A federal judge in DC was set to hear arguments Wednesday in cases filed challenging the Trump admin's new policy limiting who is eligible for asylum, but just put that on hold now that a CA judge restored a nationwide injunction, see: buzzfeednews.com/article/hameda…

Today in court: A DOJ lawyer couldn't tell a judge when exactly the Trump administration would start enforcing a new policy announced in July significantly expanding the govt's ability to speed up deportations buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The judge is weighing whether to grant a prelim. injunction blocking the Trump admin's expanded expedited removal policy — she was incredulous at the govt's position that there couldn't be any legal challenge until immigration officers actually took action buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
The new policy has been in effect since July, but immigrants and their advocates have been in limbo about when exactly the Trump admin would start enforcing it — in August, DOJ said Sept. 1, but today a DOJ lawyer said nothing was happening yet buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

#NEW: @aurabogado reports that DHS is farming out children of migrants.
One of those places is Bethany Services in Pennsylvania, about which I have reported.

The US is quietly opening shelters for babies and young kids. One has 12 children and no mothers revealnews.org/article/the-us…
Bethany Services is linked to Betsy DeVos and has been involved in abuses of kids, and has disturbing anti-LGBTQ policies. This is not a good agency for any children to be housed by, but has numerous sites nationally.
Read Aura's piece and her thread. 📌📌📌 This just gets worse and worse.

Roy says CBP agents are being vilified by Congress.

He does not mention CBP agents vilifying lawmakers and immigrants however.
courthousenews.com/homeland-secur…
Roy says both parties have failed. Fix asylum laws. Fund ICE. Take action. Texas communities get overrun "because cowards in the swamp refuse to do their job."
Rep Veronica Escobar, D-Texas now up. She lives not "near" the border but on it. In El Paso. For 7 mos, she's visited centers in her district.
Says there's no doubt the increasing # of migrants presents a challenge, but we've failed to live up to our founding values to address

Recent headlines describing unsafe conditions that immigrant children are being exposed to at the U.S. southern border have alarmed us as they have many pediatricians. We must make immediate, permanent changes to the way we treat immigrant children when they come here. Thread: 1/
Our own policy is clear: pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/139/5/…. This is what it calls for: 2/
Children should not be detained; no amount of detention is safe for a child. 3/

UN Human Rights commissioner regarding US immigration policies:

"The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."
