Federal Judge Blocks Deportations of Unaccompanied Guatemalan Minors

The U.S. government was ordered to halt all deportations of unaccompanied minors from Guatemala, as a federal judge issued an emergency injunction on August 31, 2025. The decision follows a lawsuit filed on behalf of ten children, citing due process concerns and potential violations of international protection obligations. The ruling will pause deportations for at least two weeks as the legal process unfolds. Advocates hailed the decision as a vital protection for vulnerable migrants. It highlights the court’s willingness to intervene in immigration matters where children's welfare is at risk. The government now faces pressure to adjust its policies swiftly in response to the judicial setback.
