US EditionTrump administration plans to send hundreds of Guatemalan children in government custody back to home country: Report
The plan targets nearly 700 unaccompanied minors, raising concerns over due process and child welfare violations amid broader immigration enforcement efforts.
- The Trump administration plans to send more than 600 unaccompanied Guatemalan children in U.S. government custody back to their home country under a pilot project.
- This move follows ongoing immigration enforcement efforts and occurs amid concerns about the children's custody and release, with some advocates calling the effort unprecedented.
- The children arrived in the U.S. alone, lack parents or legal guardians as sponsors, and face potential forced removal despite federal protections and child welfare mandates.
- Senator Ron Wyden warned the removals violate child welfare mandates, and experts described the U.S. government working with Guatemala to repatriate children as unprecedented and troubling.
- The plan threatens to separate vulnerable children from their families and lawyers, raising concerns about their safety and underscoring disputes over legal and moral obligations to protect them.
