US EditionJudge Temporarily Blocks US Efforts to Remove some Immigrant Guatemalan and Honduran Children
The court ruling protects the right of unaccompanied Guatemalan and Honduran children to legal counsel and immigration hearings, affecting over 60 children in state custody.
- An Arizona judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's effort to remove Guatemalan and Honduran children, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Marquez announced Thursday, extending a Labor Day ruling.
- A legal aid group filed a lawsuit on behalf of 57 Guatemalan children and 12 Honduran children ages 3 to 17, demanding their right to appear before an immigration judge under the 2008 law requiring judge appearance.
- Lawyers say their clients, mostly in HHS custody at shelters in Phoenix and Tucson, fear returning home as the administration seeks to reunify families.
- The administration argues it is acting in the children's best interest by seeking reunification at the Guatemalan government's request, while lawsuits in Illinois and Washington, D.C., also challenge removals.
- Recent data show shifting arrivals, with child arrivals surging since 2014 and peaking at 152,060 in the 2022 fiscal year, while Guatemalans made up 32% of facility residents last year.
