Guatemala government says it asked for migrant children back : NPR

Guatemala claims it proposed sending unaccompanied Guatemalan minors back home to Secretary Noem in June. This followed a judge's halt to their deportation from the US. Guatemala asserts the repatriation aligns with children's rights and family reunification. However, the timeline is disputed, and lawyers representing the children argue the US violated their rights by attempting deportation without allowing asylum claim processing. The US government hasn't yet commented, and the children remain in the US due to a temporary restraining order.
