NOTE: The Average Length of ORR Detention is calculated for this report using ALL UACs, not just those that were released. This differs than the
Average Length of ORR Detention in the IG report and the NCYL Congressional Briefing Book (12/2019), which only examined AVG LOS of released
UACs.

All Facilities: Data Processing
1. Data shown are from DOJ files provided for months January 2018 through December 2019.
2. There are approximately 1400 more Class Members (~1% of all records) excluded from this analysis
because their DOJ records were ambiguous due to duplicated, inconsistent, or missing data.
3. There are 461 individuals recorded in the DOJ files who were older than 18 at time of admittance into ORR
Custody. They are not included in this analysis of Flores Class Members.
4. Length of detention is calculated as the elapsed days from date of placement into the custody of ORR to
date of release. If there is no release information, the Class Member is assumed still in the custody of ORR at
the end of <Parameters.End Report Date Month>, and the length of detention is calculated as the elapsed
days from date of placement until <Parameters.End Report Date>, the date of the census for the latest file
provided by the DOJ. The date of placement and last day in detention are included as days in detention.
5. Monthly trends of detained Class Members are the sums of all distinct Class Members held in the custody
of ORR each month. These will differ from average daily census numbers provided by DOJ. Instead our
numbers indicate how many Class Members the ORR system detains and is responsible for each month.

Re:
Flores v. Barr, Case No. CV 85-4544-DMG-AGRx Plaintiffs' request for compliance data
Dear William,
As we have previously discussed, ¶ 28 of the Flores settlement requires DHS to
"maintain an up-to-date record of all minors who are placed in proceedings and remain in
[its] custody for longer than 72 hours. Statistical information on such minors shall be
collected weekly from all . . . Border Patrol stations" and forwarded periodically to
Plaintiffs' counsel. Pursuant to Paragraph 28A and the Court's Orders, Defendants' data
provided to Class Counsel on a monthly basis must include: (1) biographical information
such as each minor's name, date of birth, and country of birth, (2) date placed in
[Defendants'] custody [which usually commences with CBP custody and sometimes with
ICE custody], (3) each date placed, removed or released [by ORR, CBP, or ICE], (4) to
whom and where placed, transferred, removed or released [by CBP, ORR, or ICE], (5)
immigration status, and (6) hearing dates [if any]. See Paragraph 28A.
The Juvenile Coordinator is also required for each detained class member to "collect
information regarding the reasons for every placement of a minor in a detention facility ..."
Paragraph 29 states that Defendants "shall" provide to Class Counsel "the information
collected pursuant to Paragraph 28 ... and each ... policy or instruction issued to
[Defendants'] employees regarding the implementation of this Agreement."
All DHS and HHS components detaining class members are bound by the settlement. Inasmuch as CBP knows that the vast majority of class members it detains will
be detained for more than 72 hours whether in CBP, ICE, or ORR custody (and about 100%
of UAMs), it cannot isolate itself from the settlements terms by claiming class members
were in its custody for less than 72 hours and thereby circumvent the reporting required for

Page 2 Flores v. Barr February 11, 2020
all minors detained for more than 72 hours, regardless whether custody switched between
the defendant agencies during that time.
Defendants have not complied with the Settlement's reporting provisions. Please
respond to the issues raised below.
1. Please forward to class counsel all current policies and instructions issued to
Defendants' employees regarding implementation of the Agreement.
2. Please provide CBP data for all months from January 2019 to the present.
3. The CBP data we currently receive each month does not account for all Flores
class members. Data has only been provided for class members who are ultimately
transferred from CBP to ORR and who experienced an "action" during the month (the class
member was referred, discharged or transferred).
(a) Please include data for all class members in ORR for the entire month (currently
reflected in the ORR census tab).
(b) Except for minors released by CBP, ICE, or ORR within 72 hours of apprehension, please include data for all class members in CBP, whether or not in CBP's
custody for longer than 72 hours, and regardless of whether or not they are subsequently
transferred to ORR or iCE custody or removed to a third country.
4. The CBP data we receive has only 3 columns: Alien File Number,
Apprehension/Inadmissible Date, and Component.
(a) Please provide a 'read me' or data dictionary to clearly define the data and the
columns ("Alien File Number," "Apprehension/Inadmissible Date," and "Component").
Please list total Unique Alien File Numbers contained in the report, definition of repeated
instances of Alien File Numbers, and multiple Apprehension/Inadmissible Dates for unique
Alien File Numbers.
(b) Please provide the data required by Paragraphs 28-29 quoted from above:
minor's name, date of birth, and country of birth to provide secondary data quality
verification of Alien File Numbers. Pursuant to ¶ 28, the data must include date placed in
CBP custody, date(s) moved or released, to whom and where placed, transferred, removed
or released, reasons for every placement of the minor, immigration status, and any hearing
dates.
(c) Please explain why some class members have Apprehension/Inadmissible Dates
that have no relationship to ICE or ORR entry into custody.
(d) Please explain how MPP class members in CBP custody are being recorded.
(e) Are class members released to any placement or location other than ORR or ICE
custody? Please provide time and date of entry into and released from CBP custody
for instances where a class member is not transferred to ICE or ORR custody.
5. The ICE data files contain Apprehension/Inadmissible Dates, however further
information is needed for clarification.

Page 3 Flores v. Barr February 11, 2020
(a) The data dictionary states that 'Initial Book-in date was substituted for
apprehension dates with data quality issues.' Please clearly indicate which unique Alien File
Numbers have 'apprehension dates with data quality issues.'
6. The ORR data files do not contain CBP dates. We match the CBP data files to the
ORR data files. However, we have encountered data quality issues and therefore cannot
identify ALL class members in CBP, ORR or ICE custody (ex: December 2019 report,
Referrals Tab, first listed A-number). For accuracy in reporting we request a process for
communication of data quality issues and for data reconciliation.
We also request a monthly report with data on all CBP, ORR and ICE facilities
holding class members to include the following: days in operation, total bed capacity,
average daily census, maximum daily census, minimum daily census, and number of staff
on duty at any one time. If beds are restricted by age, gender, country of birth, language
spoken, or special needs, please provide the above measures for each subgroup.
We request that you respond to this correspondence within ten days and provide the
Special Master a copy of your response, and that the Special Master schedule a conference
call to review the parties' positions and perform such tasks as she deems appropriate under
the terms of her appointment. As class counsel, we believe Defendants' compliance with the
reporting obligations under the Settlement is critically important and following a meet and
confer as required by the local rules and the Settlement, hopefully joined by the Special
Master, plaintiffs may petition the Court to involve itself in this aspect of compliance unless
agreements are reached regarding Defendants' reporting.
Please feel free to contact us by telephone or email if you have any questions or need
clarification. We hope these issues can be resolved without litigation and to the satisfaction
of all parties.
Sincerely.

Declaration of Michael Fassio I, Michael Fassio, declare as follows:
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice law in the State of Washington. I have volunteered with
the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law since 2018, during which time I have
interviewed and prepared declarations for minors in detention and visited multiple Customs and
Border Patrol and ORR facilities. This declaration is based on my personal knowledge of the
following information.
2. On March 9, 2020, I visited the Crittenton Family Services ORR facility in Fullerton,
California, as a Flores monitor on behalf of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional
Law. I was one of a group of monitors and interpreters. During this visit, we interviewed
detained minors and were also given a tour of the facility. We spent approximately 8 hours
there.
3. There were approximately 40 minor detainees in residence at the facility.
4. No COVID-19 protocols were given to us to follow during our interviews with individual
children or on our tour. I was not asked to engage in social distancing.
5. No face masks or gloves were provided to us to use.
6. No face masks or gloves were in use by staff or minor detainees.
7. I did not observe social distancing between staff and minor detainees.
8. I did not observe social distancing between fellow minor detainees.
9. I saw no evidence of information available to detained minors to educate them about COVID19 and specific safety measures they should take to reduce the spread of the virus (such as handwashing and social distancing).
10. I observed that sinks were accessible to detained minors and staff and were well-stocked with
soap and paper towels. We were not informed of the availability of hand sanitizer, so I do not
know of its presence.
11. A maximum of three children sleep in the same room. Single rooms are reserved for children
that are on a one-on-one watch, and those that are pregnant.
12. The only medical personnel at the Crittenton facility at the time of our visit was one nurse.
We were told that the nurse is on duty full time and that a pediatrician visits the facility twice a
week.

13. Communal spaces and surfaces appeared to be clean. I did not observe any communal rooms.
furniture, and restrooms being cleaned or sanitized during our visit. No information was
provided by staff concerning enhanced sanitation to minimize the transmission of
14. All detained minors, approximately 40 at the time of our visit, eat meals together.
15. Detained minors travel together in a van to and from classes at a school approximately 1
mile away. These trips put the children in close contact with each other and staff. We were not
made aware of any measures during these trips to reduce the likelihood of
transmission.
16. During our visit, we observed the children playing soccer in a small ?eld adjacent to the
buildings. This put them in close proximity to one another in numbers greater than ten.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the above is correct and true- Executed on the 26?? of
March 2020, in Kent, Washington.

Declaration of Alex Mendoza
1. I am an attorney licensed to practice in the State of California. This declaration is based on
personal knowledge of the following information.
2. On March 10, 2020, I visited the Southwest Key San Diego ORR Shelter in El Cajon,
California as a Flores monitor on behalf of the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional
Law. I was one of a group of monitors and interpreters. The visit lasted from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
3. I did not observe social distancing among children and staff.
4. I did not observe social distancing among the children.
5. I was not asked to practice social distancing.
6. No face masks or gloves were provided to staff or children.
7. There was no hand sanitizer nor were there accessible hand-washing stations for children or
staff.
8. There was no soap out on children's bathroom sinks.
9. Up to three children slept in each room.
10. Children's beds were about three feet apart.
11. We observed one nurse on duty.
12. I observed a staff bathroom being cleaned once during our visit.
13. We observed bedrooms being cleaned once during our visit.
14. We observed a communal office being cleaned once during our visit.
15. We did not observe communal outdoor tables being cleaned or sanitized during our visit.
16. Children ate meals and had class together - with approximately 30 people in the same room.
17. There were 2 other groups of more than 10 people visiting the facility during our visit, and
neither group practiced social distancing or used face masks and gloves.
18. Children were not provided with verbal or written education on practices to protect their health
and reduce the spread of COVID-19 - including washing their hands, not touching their faces,
and practicing social distancing. There was one exception, explained below:
Case PROT23-DMG-AGR Document 738 Filed 03/27/20 Page 30 of 31 Page ID
#:34482
19. Two members of our group interviewed Victor Manuel Valdovnios Adame (from Mexico,
born October 19, 2002, A# 203-606-569), a detained minor who wore a face mask because he
had a cough.
20. Although Victor wore a mask, it was just an ordinary surgical mask rather than an N95. It was
unclear how often he was able to change it. He coughed several times during his interview
and repeatedly pulled the mask away from his nose for a few seconds at a time. The mask
seemed to be bothering him.
21. Victor reported that he was held in a room by himself for 24 hours at a Customs and Border
Protection facility when he was first apprehended. There, he was given a medical exam but no
medication. He arrived at SWK El Cajon on March 6th, but because of his cough, he was kept
from meeting many other children. On March 9th, he was finally given a vaccine and allowed
to socialize. As of March 10th, he had two roommates.
I declare under penalty of perjury that the above is correct and true. Executed on March 26, 2020
in San Diego, California.
