Jenny Flores
Jenny Flores is known for being the namesake of the Flores Settlement Agreement, a landmark legal decision established in 1997 that set forth protections for unaccompanied minors in U.S. immigration custody. Her case highlighted the mistreatment of children in detention during the 1980s and has since served as a crucial framework for ensuring humane treatment of child immigrants.
