The judge also found that the family detention centers in Texas were a “material breach” of provisions requiring that minors be placed in facilities that are not secured like prisons and are licensed to take care of children. The detention centers are secure facilities run by private prison contractors.

She ruled on a lawsuit that was filed in February by Peter Schey and Carlos Holguin, lawyers at the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law in Los Angeles. They sued after two months of negotiations between them and the Justice Department produced no accord on how to change the detention centers.

“I think this spells the beginning of the end for the Obama administration’s immigrant family detention policy,” Mr. Schey, the president of the human rights center, said Friday. “A policy that just targets mothers with children is not rational and it’s inhumane.”

@PeterSchey is the attorney who first disclosed that the Obama administration's refusal to publish notice of comment for extended DACA and DAPA caused the injuction to remain in place. A very good attorney from what he just accomplished on behalf of all of the mothers and children unjustly detained. I say this for the White House apologist trolls that abound here.

This should help DACA Expansion prevail?

Nice, finally a judge that doesn't have their head up their ass.
