This is a ploy to get around the Flores settlement, which requires that children be removed from immigration detention after 20 days. Building a school in the detention center makes it look like it's a licensed facility for child care but it's not.

The establishment of a school is an effort to sanitize the extended detention of hundreds of children at Dilley, which violates a court settlement established 28 years ago. Under that settlement, children may not be held in immigration prison for more than 20 days unless the facility is nonsecure and licensed. But a recent court filing claims that ICE has held hundreds of children for well beyond that limit, in some cases for multiple months, and subjected them to neglect and abuse. Immigration prisons are not licensed child care facilities, and even if they were, living in one “is going to be harmful and detrimental to kids in lasting ways,” RAICES legal director Javier O. Hidalgo said in an interview. “You’re in jail, and you’re going to school in jail. It’s never going to be appropriate and adequate.”
