A federal judge has ordered U.S. Customs and Border Protection to allow medical professionals into detention facilities holding migrant children, CNN reported Sunday.
U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee ordered that health professionals be allowed in the facilities to ensure the conditions are “safe and sanitary” for children being detained there and to assess the children’s medical needs.
The order pertains to all of CBP’s facilities in the El Paso and Rio Grande Valley sectors, CNN reported. The centers are the subject of a lawsuit regarding the 1997 Flores Agreement and reports of unsafe and reported unsanitary conditions at detention centers.
Prosecutors had requested immediate action to address conditions they said threaten the wellbeing of children.
The Hill has reached out to CBP for comment.
Last week prosecutors asked the court to hold the Trump administration in contempt and take immediate action to remedy unsafe conditions at border facilities.
“The children, including infants and expectant mothers, are dirty, cold, hungry and sleep-deprived,” prosecutors said, referring to conditions at detention centers including one in Clint, Texas.
Gee, an Obama appointee, ruled late Friday that an independent monitor must ensure conditions in detention centers are promptly addressed, setting a July 12 deadline, according to The New York Times.
At a recent hearing, Department of Justice senior litigation counsel Sarah Fabian testified that the department is compliant with the law, arguing a toothbrush and soap were not necessary to fulfill safe and sanitary conditions for detained children.
Beto O’Rourke is scheduled to visit the Border Patrol facility in Clint, Texas, on Sunday. Democratic presidential candidates visited a detention facility in Homestead, Fla., last week and commented on the horrific conditions they witnessed.

Alabama DA to drop manslaughter charge against woman whose fetus died after shooting
Melissa Brown, Montgomery Advertiser Published 3:26 p.m. ET July 3, 201
An Alabama district attorney will not pursue manslaughter charges against a 27-year-old whose fetus died after she was shot during a December 2018 fight.
The decision comes after days of public outcry sparked by Marshae Jones’ arrest on June 26. A Jefferson County grand jury had indicted Jones for manslaughter after another woman, Ebony Jemison, shot Jones in December 2018, killing her fetus.
District Attorney Lynneice Washington announced her decision at a Wednesday press conference in Bessemer, Alabama.

Look at this sh!t.
“Federal prosecutors announced Tuesday they will retry humanitarian aid volunteer and immigration rights activist Scott Warren on two charges related to aiding migrants along the U.S.-Mexico border. This comes just a few weeks after a jury refused to convict Warren for providing water, food, clean clothes and beds to two undocumented migrants crossing the Sonoran Desert in southern Arizona. Eight jurors found Warren not guilty; four said he was. Federal prosecutors will make their case against Warren again in an 8-day jury trial in November. They have dropped a conspiracy charge against him. If convicted on the two felony migrant harboring charges, Warren faces up to 10 years in prison.”
