Family detention centers are holding facilities for children or entire families who have been either arrested or detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) while awaiting asylum or immigration proceedings. People may be arrested at the border or while living anywhere within the U.S. and taken to a facility until immigration law enforcement or court proceedings determine next steps.

Loving and caring with wisdom and order brings peace and balance.

We condemn the regulation announced by the Trump administration on Wed. that would abolish the 20-day limit on holding families in jails.
