ACLU, ICE Extend Hutto Oversight Agreement
T. Don Hutto Residential Center will no longer house immigrant families.
"A 2007 settlement agreement ordering the government to maintain improved conditions at an immigrant detention center in Taylor has been extended, the American Civil Liberties Union said Friday.
A copy of a modification to the 2007 agreement, which was filed in U.S. District Court in Austin and provided by the ACLU on Friday, said the plaintiffs and the government determined that an extension "would be appropriate" after Aug. 29, when the agreement was set to expire."
