"A federal judge appointed by President Donald Trump blocked his administration from deporting Guatemalan children after an attempted late-night operation to place dozens on flights out of the United States. Judge Timothy J. Kelly issued a preliminary injunction halting the plan, which federal officials had described as a reunification effort. But Kelly ruled that the defence crumbled like a house of cards once examined."
"Evidence from Guatemala's attorney general showed parents of more than 600 minors had not requested their children's return, and government lawyers admitted they could not contest that finding. The case erupted over Labor Day weekend when authorities roused about 70 minors, aged 10 to 17, from their beds in shelters, put them on buses, and moved them toward planes bound for Guatemala."

Authorities roused about 70 minors, aged 10 to 17, from shelters and moved them toward planes. Declarations from children described terror and fear of gangs, neglect, or death. Kelly concluded the actions likely violated federal trafficking and immigration statutes and extended protection indefinitely.
