Context:
The Trump administration was pushing through a deal with Guatemala to repatriate detained children without full court proceedings—prompting legal challenges from advocacy groups citing danger to the youth.
What’s Changing?
Deportations of unaccompanied minors are paused.
Children remain in federal shelters and must receive due legal process.
What Are the Options Now?
Minors can continue to pursue asylum or reunite with U.S.-based family under regular procedures.
Important Reminders:
Check all cases for proper court notifications—this is a temporary restraining order, not a permanent fix.
