A federal judge extended a pause on the Trump administration‘s ability to deport a group of unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country, after the Justice Department walked back claims that all of the children’s parents wanted them returned to Guatemala.
Judge Timothy Kelly of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia extended through Tuesday a previous order by U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, an appointee of former President Joe Biden, which restricted the removal of a group of unaccompanied Guatemalan children that the Trump administration initially claimed it was reunifying with family. The initial order was placed over Labor Day weekend.
