The ongoing court-ordered mediation, to resolve what has now become 42 years of lawlessness, at the border, and in detention centers. . . continues, in the federal court complex, in LA — in the case captioned Flores (before the ever capable USDC Judge Dolly Gee), with hope for some specific relief at the federal Dilley detention complex.

We’ve been here (in this back and forth) before — in Tangerine 1.0. So, I don’t hold out a ton of hope for a complete resolution — but this is the process — so we follow it (from Friday past):

…The parties provide the Court with the following update regarding mediation. Defendants submitted supplemental reports by the Juvenile Coordinators of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, on March 13, 2026, see ECF Nos. 1735 and 1736, and Plaintiffs’ counsel responded on March 20, 2026, see ECF Nos. 1747 and 1748.

Dr. Wise visited Dilley Immigration Processing Center on March 24, 2026, and the parties await his report of the visit.

After further communications by mediator Andrea Sheridan Ordin with counsel for Plaintiffs, and, separately, counsel for Defendants, on March 27, 2026, the parties agreed to continue discussions, with particular attention to time in custody and medical care, for the next 30 days. The parties agree to provide the Court with an update no later than April 27, 2026.
