Judge blocks Trump administration move to deport Guatemalan children
A judge blocked the Trump administration's attempt to deport unaccompanied Guatemalan children, ruling they were at risk of abuse and persecution. The children arrived in the US alone and their immigration claims are being assessed before reunification with family. The temporary restraining order halting the deportations will be in place for 14 days, as immigrant advocacy groups argued the action violated federal laws protecting vulnerable migrant children.
