Today's guest host is Brent Cohen, Executive Director of Generation Progress and the VP of the Center for American Progress.

Brent is joined by a pair of expert guests to discuss the Trump administration's new attempt to "end a decades-old settlement agreement that had set a 20-day limit for holding children and issue new regulations that could hold undocumented families detained together indefinitely.
The 1997 Flores v. Reno court agreement had set nationwide policy for the detention and treatment of minors in immigration custody.
It requires the government to release children from immigration detention without unnecessary delay to their parents, other adult relatives or or licensed programs." (Source: https://www.cnn.com/2019/08/21/politics/what-is-flores-settlement/index.html)
Brent and his panel explain the horrible dangers that this change would unleash on extremely vulnerable children and families.
