Coalition of attorneys general file brief supporting restraining order against the Trump Administration
OLYMPIA — Attorney General Bob Ferguson today joined 19 other attorneys general in support of a lawsuit seeking to force the Trump Administration to provide safe, sanitary conditions for immigrant children it has detained.
In their amicus — or friend of the court — brief, filed today in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, the attorneys general assert that the Administration’s treatment is in violation of a long-standing court-approved settlement that requires the federal government to meet minimum standards when detaining immigrant children, including safe and sanitary conditions and prompt release or placement.
