For 27 years, federal courts have held special oversight over custody conditions for child migrants. The Biden administration wants a judge to partially lift those powers. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee will consider the request at a hearing in Los Angeles on Friday, barely a week before new safeguards take effect.

FILE - This undated file photo provided by the Administration for Children and Families, a division of the Department of Health and Human Services, shows the shelter used to house unaccompanied migrant children in Tornillo, Texas. For 27 years, federal courts have held special oversight over custody conditions for child migrants. The Biden administration wants a judge to partially lift those powers on Friday, June 21, 2024 FILE - In this Feb.

Court oversight gives advocates representing child migrants broad authority to visit custody facilities and conduct interviews with staff and other migrants. They may register complaints with Gee, who can order changes.Lawyers for child migrants strenuously oppose the move to roll back court supervision, arguing in part that the federal government has failed to develop a regulatory framework in states that revoked licenses of facilities caring for child migrants or may do so in the future.

The Justice Department argues new safeguards that take effect July 1 render Flores unnecessary at Health and Human Services facilities. It says HHS will require shelters to obey state licensing standards, even if they are unlicensed, and will increase site visits in those states to make sure they comply.
