A federal judge is set to consider a partial end to the special court oversight of child migrants, which has been in place for 27 years. The Biden administration is requesting the judge to partially lift these powers, arguing that new rules have been implemented to ensure the safety of migrant children in U.S. custody. However, these new rules are being challenged by attorneys for migrant children, who claim that the measures are insufficient to protect the children.
