Judge orders many migrant children removed from Texas facility said to use psychotropic drugs

...A class-action lawsuit filed on behalf of children at Shiloh in April alleged that children being held in facilities like Shiloh are almost certain to be administered psychotropic drugs like Prozac regardless of their conditions and without their parents' consent, it says. The suit alleges that the drugs are a "chemical strait jacket" used to manage trauma preemptively.

..And she ordered the government to seek consent before giving psychotropic drugs to any detained migrant child. Without consent, the facility may administer such a drug only in an emergency or under a court order, she said.

I apologize pre-emptively if it was indeed legal and regular practice.

Yea, but they are just the ones that mother gives you. Seriously though, are these even being proscribed by an actual doctor that has examined them?

Do you think Trump and his people care?

Didn't find evidence to suggest psychiatric evaluation + prescription, but the WP lists some of the drugs,

Julio Z., another minor held at Shiloh, said he “never knew exactly what the pills were.” Court documents list Clonazepam, Divalproex, Duloxetine, Guanfacine, Latuda, Geodon, and Olanzapine among his medications.

I can't say with certainty whether or not the practise preceded his presidency, but the issue is clouded by the detention of immigrant children in the first place

2nd paragraph in the article

U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee found conditions at the nonprofit Shiloh Treatment Center, in Manvel, near Houston, in violation of a 1997 settlement, called Flores vs. Reno, requiring immigration officials to place detained minors "in the least restrictive setting appropriate to (each Class Member's) age and special needs."
