In a news release, his offi ce said the new rule would “bypass the Flores Settlement Agreement.” “Children don’t become subhuman because they are migrants. All children are God’s children, our children, and America should never treat them otherwise,” Becerra said in the release. “Yet, the Trump administration is about to take America down that dark road stripping protections that spare children from the trauma and harm caused by unlawful, cruel, and prolonged detention. We are prepared to defend the human rights of children and the values and integrity of the United States of America.” The Flores Settlement Agreement came out of a class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California in 1985. The legal action was a “response to substandard conditions of confi nement for unaccompanied immigrant children.” The Trump administration has been broadly criticized over its immigration policies, including its separation of children from undocumented parents. • Assemblyman Jordan unningham R-San uis Obispo) has introduced a resolution to dedicate Sept. 21, 2019, as “California Cleanup Day.” His offi ce announced Assembly Concurrent Resolution 136 on Aug. 26. “California’s beautiful coastline is an unmistakable part of our state’s identity,” the assemblyman said in a news release. “As one of our most important and valuable assets, Californians take pride in working together to keep our beaches clean.
