A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction halting the Trump administration's deportation of unaccompanied Guatemalan minors. The judge, a Trump appointee, ruled the government's claim of reuniting children with parents lacked evidence, citing the Guatemalan Attorney General's inability to locate most parents. The administration's swift removal attempts, including rousing children from their beds for immediate transport, were also criticized. While the injunction currently applies to Guatemalan children, concerns exist regarding similar actions targeting minors from Honduras and El Salvador.
