Ana Kikabidze and her children, ages 11 and 14, were detained for months at the Dilley immigration detention facility in South Texas before an immigration judge ordered their deportation to Georgia, warning that an appeal could take months longer in detention. More than 66,000 parents and children have been detained and deported since the Trump administration began requiring immigrants to remain locked up while their cases are decided, according to an analysis by Relevant Research. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee found the administration had repeatedly violated the Flores Settlement, citing prolonged detention and inadequate medical care at Dilley, and appointed an independent monitor to oversee conditions for detained children there and at other facilities.
