 A federal judge has approved the Biden administration's request to partially end court oversight of migrant children, chipping away at a nearly three-decade-old agreement. U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee ruled the special court supervision of the Health and Human Services Department can end. That agency takes custody of migrant children after they've been in Border Patrol custody for up to 72 hours. They are then placed in a vast network of holding facilities and generally released to close relatives.
