Judge Dolly Gee Issues a New Flores Order
A movie we have seen before
By Andrew R. Arthur on July 12, 2018
On July 9, 2018, Judge Dolly Gee of the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California issued an order in Flores v. Sessions, the latest twist in the two-decade-long saga that began with the settlement agreement in Flores v. Reno. The predictable result of that order will be a continued (if not increased) flow of aliens generally, and unaccompanied alien children (UACs) and family units in particular, entering the United States illegally.
In a June 29, 2018, post captioned "District Court Sets Up Catch and Release Dilemma", I explained the interplay between Flores, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA), section 462 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the recently issued decision from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California in Ms. L v. ICE, and the administration's "zero-tolerance" policy as it relates to aliens who have entered the United States illegally, as well as a subsequent executive order (EO) modifying that policy.
