A timeline of events related to United States immigrant detention centers of minors

According to a 2012 article by the The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), since the 1980s, the United States government' enforcement action, including removal proceedings and/or detention and of non-criminal immigrant children and their families, has increased.[Flores 1] The CIS article said that "detained children [were] subjected to inhumane conditions and abuse by federal authorities and contractors."[Flores 1] and that "procedural safeguards" to protect migrant children, were lacking.[Flores 1] The 1985 class action lawsuit was brought against the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) by the National Center for Immigrants' Rights, Inc through lawyers Carlos Holguin and Peter A. Schey on behalf a minor Jenny Lisette Flores who was apprehended at the Mexico-United States border and detained for months by INS, in a adult detention center.[Flores 2]: 1648  [Flores_1985 1] [Notes 1][Flores 3] On March 7, 1988, in Jenny Lisette Flores, et al. represented by , Plaintiffs, v. Edwin Meese, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and Harold W. Ezell, a District court judge in California placed "limits on INS treatment of alien minors in custody."[Flores 4][Flores 1]

1990 9th Circuit judge reverses district court judge, then overturned in banc; 1992 Case reaches Supreme Court in favor of government1997 Flores agreement reached between government and plaintiffs; 2008 Congress passes TVPRA, partially codifying Flores into law; 2015 Judge interprets Flores to include all minors, and sets 20-day limit"[Flores 1][Flores 1] "Since 1997, the treatment of children in federal custody has been governed by the Flores v. Reno Settlement Agreement (FSA)." As the INS often did not comply with the requirements, Congress twice passed legislation to reform the immigration system as it applied to unaccompanied children. Later, the Department of Homeland Security began detaining children and their families in violation of the standards set forth in the FSA. Another settlement was reached to address the treatment of those children.[Flores 2]

1985 In 1985, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) apprehended then-15-year-old Jenny Lisette Flores, from El Salvador after she attempted to cross the Mexico-United States border.[Flores 2]: 1648  and detained her in an adult prison where she was strip searched. The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law filed class action lawsuit Flores v. Meese against AG Edwin Meese, who served as United States Attorney General from February 25, 1985 to July 5, 1988 under President Ronald Reagan.[1]: 1648 [Flores_1985 2] [Notes 2][Flores 3]
1988 March 7 Flores v. Meese, 681 F. Supp. 665 (C.D. Cal. 1988). Jenny Lisette FLORES, et al., Plaintiffs, v. Edwin MEESE, Immigration and Naturalization Service, Harold W. Ezell, Defendants. No. CV 85-4544-RJK. United States District Court, C.D. California. March 7, 1988. National Center for Immigrants' Rights, Inc., Carlos Holguin, Peter A.

Robert C. Bonner, U.S. Atty., Frederick M. Brosio, Jr., Asst. U.S. Atty., Chief, Civil Div., Ian Fan, Asst. U.S. Atty., Los Angeles, Cal., for defendants.[Flores 4]
1993 Reno v. Flores, 507 U.S. 292 (1993),[Flores 5] Attorney General Janet Reno v. Jenny Lisette Flores was a Supreme Court of the United States case in which the Court held that the Immigration and Naturalization Service's regulations regarding the release of alien unaccompanied minors did not violate.[Flores 5]
1997 January 28 During the administration of Bill Clinton, Flores v. Meese "set standards for the detention of minors by prioritizing them for release to the custody of their families and requiring those in federal custody to be placed in the least restrictive environment possible" according to a June 19, 2018 NBC News article.[2] The Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law filed class action lawsuit Flores v. Meese against then-U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese.[1]: 1648 [Flores 3] Immigration officials agreed to provide detained minors with "food and drinking water as appropriate, medical assistance if minor is in need of emergency services, toilets and sinks, adequate temperature control and ventilation, adequate supervision to protect minors from others, contact with family members who were arrested with the minor, and separation from unrelated adults whenever possible."[3] According to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 (TVPRA) and the 1996 settlement agreement in Flores v. Meese set the legal standards for law governing the rights of children in the immigration process.[Flores 6]: 1, 2 
2002 Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) is a term defined by the 2002 Homeland Security Act, an act that established the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), that was introduced following the September 11 attacks during the Presidency of George W. Bush.[4] United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), defines UAC as illegal immigrants who are under 18-years old and have no legal guardians in the United States.[5][6] Part of this major re-organization within the federal government was the abolition by Congress of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). INS responsibilities were transferred to entities within DHS.[Flores 1]
2003 The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) within the United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) began to operate the Unaccompanied Alien Children Program. From 2003 to 2011 the ORR housed fewer than 8,000 children annually.[7][8]
2007 The Global Detention Project reported that there were 363 detention sites in use in the United States during the period 2007-2009[9][10]
2008 The Baptist Children's Center (BCFS San Antonio) in San Antonio, Texas operated by the Baptist Child and Family Services now known as BCFS Health and Human Services or BCFS was opened.
2008 December 23 Then-President George W. Bush signed the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, which provided "substantial new protections" to UAC by "prohibiting them from being quickly sent back to their country of origin."[11]
2011 Beginning in October 2011, the U.S. Government recorded a dramatic rise – commonly referred to in the United States as “the surge” – in the number of unaccompanied and separated children arriving to the United States from these same three countries – El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The total number of apprehensions of unaccompanied and separated children from these countries by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) jumped from 4,059 in FY 2011 to 10,443 in FY 2012 and then more than doubled again, to 21,537, in FY 2013.
2012 June 15 Then-President Barack Obama announced an American immigration policy through a executive branch memorandum entitled the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) that allowed some people who were brought to the United States as children to receive period of deferred action from deportation. DACA recipients also became eligible for an employment authorization document.[12][13]
2014 During the 2014 American immigration crisis, most children came from the Northern Triangle of Central America—Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador,[14] crossing the Rio Grande. Once in the United States, they turned themselves in to the United States Border Patrol.[11] According to a July 9, 2014 article in The New York Times, then-President Obama said the William Wilberforce Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008 was "partly responsible for tying [the] hands of the [Obama administration] in dealing with the "influx of children", which had risen to approximately 52,000 minors who arrived in the United States at the Southwest border without their parents have been caught since October, 2013.[11] Republicans said that Obama's DACA had caused the influx of unaccompanied migrant children.[11]
2014 December Homeland Security Secretary Jeh C. Johnson said during a press conference held at the the opening of the largest immigrant detention center in the United States—the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, "Frankly, we want to send a message that our border is not open to illegal migration; and if you come here, you should not expect to simply be released."[15] The facility is operated by CoreCivic formerly known as CCA - Corrections Corporation of America and the director is Janice Killian. Corrections Corporation of America (CCA) was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, on January 28, 1983, by Thomas W. Beasley, Doctor Robert Crants and T. Don Hutto Beasley were the chief founders. Hutto had years of experience in corrections and was president-elect of the American Correctional Association. The two men met with representatives of the Federal Bureau of Prisons and Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS, now ICE), which operated under U.S. Department of Justice from 1933 to 2003, to discuss a potential joint venture for a facility to detain illegal aliens in Texas.[16]
2015 June 25 Los Angeles Times reported that CoreCivic's South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas held 1,735 people and about 1,000 of the detainees were children.[17]
2015 The next major change to Flores, and almost certainly the most significant, came in 2015.[Flores 1] An Obama-appointed federal district court judge in California, Dolly Gee, ordered that the Obama administration must release detained children and their mothers who were caught crossing the border illegally, saying that detention centers in Texas had failed to meet the Flores standards.[Flores 1] This was a major development — Gee had now expanded Flores to cover not only unaccompanied children, but also accompanied children.[Flores 7][Flores 1]

In fact, Judge Gee even went a step further. Flores calls on the government to release children "without unnecessary delay".[Flores 1] Gee interpreted that to mean 20 days. In other words, now all minors in detention, whether or not they were with their parents, couldn't be detained for more than three weeks. This ruling laid the groundwork for the current crisis at the border, in which children are released while their parents can still be detained awaiting hearings — hence, the "separation" of families. The alternative is simply releasing the entire family after three weeks or less. In other words, "catch-and-release".[Flores 1] ||

2016 According to a May 31, 2019 US Customs and Border Patrol report, in FY2017, the USBP Southwest Border 41,435 unaccompanied minors were apprehended by the US Border Patrol compared to 50,036 in 2018, representing an increase of 21 percent.[18] This chart shows the number of unaccompanied minors apprehended by the US Border Patrol spanning the years from 2014 to 2019 based on US Customs and Border Patrol statistics.[18]

2017 July 5 In his opinion of Flores v. Sessions (No. 17-55208 D.C. No. 2:85-cv-04544- DMG-AGR) before the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Judge Stephen Reinhardt ruled that "Nothing in the text, structure, or purpose of the HSA or TVPRA[Notes 3]renders continued compliance with Paragraph 24A, as it applies to unaccompanied minors, "impermissible."[Notes 4] "Nor does anything in the two statutes turn the Flores Settlement[Notes 5] or any part of it into an "instrument of wrong".[Notes 6] "Not a single word in either statute indicates that Congress intended to supersede, terminate, or take away any right enjoyed by unaccompanied minors at the time of the acts’ passage. Thus, we hold that the statutes have not terminated the Flores Settlement's bond-hearing requirement for unaccompanied minors. We therefore affirm the decision of the district court granting plaintiffs' motion to enforce Paragraph 24A of the Flores Settlement in its entirety."[Flores 8]: 35  He also said that "ORR treats some children whose parents are present in the United States as "unaccompanied alien children" if the parents are not "available to provide care and physical custody."[Notes 7][Flores 8]: 16–17 
2017 In 2017 Southwest Key "served 24,877 children".[19]
2017 Flores v. Sessions was filed on Appeal from the United States District Court for the Central District of California Dolly M. Gee, the presiding District Judge Dolly M. Gee , argued and submitted the case on April 18, 2017 in San Francisco, California. Flores v. Sessions was filed July 5, 2017 The Ninth Court Circuit Judges heard the case, Stephen Reinhardt, A. Wallace Tashima, and Marsha S. Berzon. The opinion was read by Judge Stephen Reinhardt The plaintiff's attorneys in Jenny Lisette Flores, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jefferson B.

Price (Tom Price), M.D. Secretary of Health and Human Services [Notes 8][20], John Kelly, Secretary of Homeland Security; U.S. Department of Homeland Security; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Defendants-Appellants.
2018 June The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) had "contracts with 100 shelters in 17 states" that housed 11,313 children.[19] Southwest Key, which is "among the largest child migrant shelter providers" in the United States, runs 27 of the 100 shelters in Texas, Arizona, and California.[19]
2018 June Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that the United States would "block access to asylum for most victims of domestic violence and gang violence."[21]
2018 June 14 In a June 14, 2018 article in the Los Angeles Times, the government-contracted youth shelter Estrella del Norte (shelter) in Tucson, Arizona, which is operated by Austin-based nonprofit Southwest Key, was described as understaffed and 'prison-like'. In mid-June 2014, th 300-bed shelter for children housed 287 children. The article cited a shelter 'insider' as saying that the migrant youth shelter was "unequipped for Trump's 'zero tolerance' policy." Cindy Casares, a spokeswoman for Southwest Key said that the shelter has been in operation for 20 years and their staff ration "meets state licensing requirements".[19] In a Los Angeles Times telephone interview with Antar Davidson, who worked at Estrella del Norte for a few months, Davidson described conditions in Estrella del Norte as "prison-like" and recounts being told to forbid siblings without their parent from hugging one another.[19]
2018 June 15 According to KPBS Public Media, over a period of 6 weeks in April and May government officials "separated 2,000 children from parents facing criminal prosecution for unlawfully crossing the border."[21]
2018 June 18 House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and a over a dozen members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, including Juan Vargas (D-Chula Vista), visited Casa San Diego in El Cajon, California which is operated by Southwest Key under contract with the HHS's ORR[21] There were 65 boys ranging in age from 6 to 17 housed there. According to KPBS Public Media, the U.S. government had separated about 10 percent of the boys from their parents.[21]
2018 June 19 In spite of a law that mandates access to lawmakers in Florida, U.S. Senator Bill Nelson, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and other lawmakers, were denied entry to the |Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children in Homestead, Florida a facility that houses 1,000 migrant children.[22][23] The Homestead Temporary Shelter for Unaccompanied Children holds 1,179 children ranging in age from 13 to 17 and is the "largest facility housing immigrant children in South Florida".[24] Cape Canaveral-based Comprehensive Health Services, Inc. has a c. $31 million contract with the federal government to operate Homestead and Leslie Wood is program director.[24]
2018 June 23 After her June 23, 2018 tour, Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz reported that at least children—from newborns to 5-year-olds—who were taken away from their parents were housed in two Miami-Dade County, Florida shelters—His House Children's Home in Miami Gardens, Florida and Catholic Charities' Msgr. Bryan Walsh Children's Village, previously known as Boys Town, in Cutler Bay, Miami.[25] in Miami, Florida under the jurisdiction of the HHS ORR.[25]His House Children's Home[23] His House is a a 232-bed facility.[24]

2019 June 20 In June 2019, three Ninth Circuit heard the case, 17-56297 Jenny Flores v. William Barr, in which Sarah Fabian, the senior attorney in the Department of Justice's Office of Immigration Litigation requested the Court to overturn the July 2017 district court's order "requiring the government to provide detainees with hygiene items such as soap and toothbrushes in order to comply with the “safe and sanitary conditions” requirement set forth in the 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement". During the June 20, 2019 proceedings, Ninth Circuit Judge William Fletcher said it was "inconceivable" that the United States government would consider it "safe and sanitary" to detain child migrants in conditions where it was "cold all night long, lights on all night long, sleeping on concrete and you've got an aluminium foil blanket?"[27][28] Fabian said that the Flores agreement mandating "safe and sanitary" conditions for detained migrant children was "vague" and it was not compulsory for the government to provide toothbrushes, soap or adequate bedding to them.[29]
2019 July 1 A congressional delegation reported that migrant women detained at the El Paso facility were "told to drink from toilet".[30][31][32][33] In July 2019, Democratic Representatives who had a scheduled tour of migrant detention centers alleged that the migrants had suffered various forms of mistreatment.[32]
2019 July 3 According to The New York Times, President Trump criticized the lawmakers for their negative comments about the U.S. Customs and Border Protection detention facilities and said that they were "living far better" there than in their home countries.[34]
