A federal judge on Sunday barred the Trump administration from sending any unbearable migrant child to Guatemala, until he had exile orders, the lawyers a few hours after the lawyers described them as a government attempt to deport hundreds of children as a government attempt.
The US District Court Judge Sparkle Sukanan issued his order as the exile attempt was completely going on, with aircraft with migrant children ready to land from Texas.
Earlier on Sunday, night hours, Sukanan issued a temporary preventive order to the authorities by sending a group of 10. Migrant children Between the ages of 10 and 17, between Guatemala, providing a request to the lawyers, who alleged the effort that the legal protection established for these minors would skirt to the Congress. He also set a hearing in the afternoon to weigh the next steps of the case.
But Sukanan suddenly said at the hearing on Sunday, saying that he was alerted that some migrant children were already in the process of deportation.
As the hearing was going on, Sukanan announced that he has just issued a comprehensive temporary preventive order, which stopped any exile of non -Kamal children in Guatemala and American custody, which did not have exile orders. He directed the Justice Department Drew Encyn, representing the Trump administration, to quickly inform the authorities that they had to stop their exile plans.
Ensine admitted that the exile aircraft were designed to land on Sunday, but said they were all “on the ground” and still on American soil. He said that he believes that an aircraft had already been removed, but had returned.
At the request of Sukanan, ENSIN said that he confirmed that children would be abolished and returned to custody of the Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for the care of migrant minors who enter the US without entering and without their parents or legal parents.
HHS rejects shelter or foster in homes until they are 18 years old or until they can be placed with a suitable sponsor in the US, often family members.
Sukanan accepted its temporary preventive order, which is prescribed for the last 14 days, is “extraordinary”, but on the basis it justified it that the government had decided to “execute a plan to remove these children” in the “weeb hours” of the holiday weekend.
In its trial, lawyers from the group of Guatemelle children stated that the Trump administration allowed over 600 migrant minors to request Guatemala to request humanitarian security, even if the US law allowed to save the US law from quick exile. He alleged that on returning to Guatemala, children could face misbehavior, neglect or harassment.
Attorney Ancein of the Department of Justice said that the Trump administration was not trying to formally deport the children of Guatemala under the US Immigration Act, but took them back to Guatemala so that they could reunite with relatives there. He said that the Gwatemala government and the children’s relatives had requested the reunion.
But the lawyers for the children disputed the claims of the government, citing a case in which they say that the parents of the child did not request any repatriation. He also said that a law known as the protection of smuggling victims says that the ill -known migrant children who are not from Mexico should be allowed to see an immigration judge and apply for legal safety before any exile effort. The lawyers said that some children returning to Guatemala are still pending in immigration cases.
ENSINI said that the legal status of the government is that it can “replicate” these children, which is based on the authority given to resume HHS “in appropriate cases” abroad with foreigners abroad. ,
Representatives of the Homeland Security Department did not immediately respond to the request of comment on the exile schemes.
Neha Desai, a lawyer at California -based National Center for Youth Law, said that the migrant works with minors, said that the US government was “already trying to deport the children with claims for legal relief on the basis of misconduct and oppression, which they had experienced in their country.”
“It is both illegal and deep inhuman,” Desai said.
Most unacceptable children crossing the American Southern border without legal permission from Central America are adolescents. Once in the US, many file applications for asylum or other immigration legally try to live in the country, such as abusive, abandoned or visa for neglected youth.
As part of its large crack on illegal immigration, the Trump administration has demanded a tough change on how the US has processed the rejecting children. This has involved illegal people in the country to get illegal children out of government custody and offer voluntary withdrawal in their original countries to get illegal children out of government custody.
The Trump administration has directed agents of immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) and other agencies to “welfare check” on children issued by HHS, a step is that in response to the disputed claims that the Biden administration “lost hundreds of thousands of migrant minors”.
There are currently about 2,000 migrant children in HHS care.
