A federal judge in Los Angeles has ordered the Trump administration to seek consent before administering psychotropic drugs to immigrant children held in a facility in Texas.
U.S. District Judge Dolly M. Gee ruled that the government was in violation of a court decree dating to the mid-1980's known as the Flores settlement which governs the treatment of detained immigrant children. There are more than 10,000 minors in federal custody. The vast majority of them arrived at the southern border unaccompanied from Central America long before the current controversy over separated families created by the Trump administration's zero-tolerance immigration policy. The settlement required the government to hold youths in the least restrictive setting possible.

Of course. California judge wants kids to suffer from mental illness instead of getting the proper treatment. Also wants to tie up the process with paperwork and prolong their suffering. Parental consent? This isn't a field trip, these are illegal immigrants. Sick sick people on the West coast.
Who diagnosed them with mental illness, Chris?

Reading good. Snark bad.
Who diagnosed these children as mentally ill, Chris?
“Psychotropic drug” is defined in the regulations at §483.45(c)(3), as “any drug that affects brain activities associated with mental processes and behavior.” Psychotropic drugs include, but are not limited to the following categories: anti-psychotics, anti-depressants, anti-anxiety, and hypnotics.
