Removal of Guatemalan children in US custody expected to begin Sunday: CNN
Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan ordered a 14-day halt on deportations of nearly 700 unaccompanied Guatemalan minors to ensure legal protections and due process are upheld.
- On Sunday, U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan issued an emergency order blocking the Trump administration from removing more than 600 Guatemalan children, halting staged flights and returns in Harlingen, Texas and El Paso, Texas.
- The Trump administration froze a pilot program to reunify nearly 700 Guatemalan children, while LGML v. Noem was filed just after 1 a.m. Sunday alleging legal violations.
- Advocates warned that the government planned to transfer minors from ORR to ICE for removal, risking due process, as Krish O'Mara Vignarajah previously told Newsweek.
- The court paused removals for at least 14 days, barred flights, and ordered all Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in U.S. Department of Health and Human Services custody off planes and back to ORR facilities.
- Legal challenges have already spread as advocacy groups warn the episode may violate the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act and the Immigration and Nationality Act, echoing earlier deportations to El Salvador this year.
