Federal Judge Rejects Releasing Detained Immigrant Families
-----------------------------------------------------------

In immigration news, a federal judge on Wednesday denied pleas to
release immigrant families imprisoned at three Immigration and Customs
Enforcement "family detention centers" in Texas and Pennsylvania,
despite concerns over rising coronavirus infections. This comes as a
separate federal judge has given ICE until July 27 to release children
from these facilities, prompting fears that families will once again be
separated.
