A US federal appeals panel has ruled that "immigrant children detained by the U.S. government should get edible food, clean water, soap and toothpaste under a longstanding agreement over detention conditions," according to this article from the Associated Press. The ruling comes in response to "the U.S. government’s challenge to a lower court’s findings that authorities had failed to provide safe and sanitary conditions for the children in line with a 1997 settlement agreement."
According to the article, a US government lawyer had argued that the 1997 agreement did not stipulate the provision of toothpaste and soap to children in custody. However, the panel stated that “assuring that children eat enough edible food, drink clean water, are housed in hygienic facilities with sanitary bathrooms, have soap and toothpaste, and are not sleep-deprived are without doubt essential to the children’s safety.”
