Government Violating Court Order To Stop Drugging Children In Immigrant Detention Center, Suit Claims

A federal judge issued an order at the end of July that requires the government to stop medicating children being held in detention centers without permission from a parent or legal guardian — among other things — but recent information out of a Texas shelter indicates they are failing to do so.

According to Reveal News, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee stated on July 30 that children being held at the Shiloh Treatment Center were not allowed to be kept medicated on psychiatric drugs unless a parent had given permission, or a court order was issued to do so for every individual child. Gee also ordered that any of the children in the facility who are not considered to be a danger to either themselves or others should be moved to “less restrictive housing,” and that they should all be allowed to make private phone calls.
