‘The last-minute order wrapped up a frenetic legal battle that began in the early hours of Sunday morning when immigration advocacy groups filed a lawsuit after discovering shelters holding unaccompanied children were abruptly told to prepare them for deportation within two hours.
District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued a temporary block on the deportations at 4 a.m. and called a hearing for Sunday afternoon. That hearing was moved forward when she heard the deportations were already underway. A government lawyer later said one plane had taken off, but later came back when the order was issued.
“I do not want there to be any ambiguity,” she said, calling for the children to be taken off the planes and adding that her ruling applies broadly to Guatemalan minors who arrived in the U.S. without their parents or guardians.’
Immigrant groups are seeking a restraining order to block the abrupt deportation of hundreds of children to Guatemala.
