A US judge on Sunday ordered an emergency halt to a plan by the Trump administration to deport a group of nearly 700 unaccompanied Guatemalan children back to their home country after immigrant advocates lawyers called the plan “illegal”.
Attorneys for 10 Guatemalan minors, ages 10 to 17, said in court papers filed late on Saturday that there were reports that planes were set to take off within hours for the Central American country.
But a federal judge in Washington said those children couldn’t be deported for at least 14 days, and after a hastily scheduled hearing on Sunday, she enforced that they needed to be taken off the planes and back to the Office of Refugee Resettlement facilities while the legal process plays out.
This just in, Trump admin DGAF and does it anyway and faces no repercussions.
Did he? Wouldn’t be surprised, like to know what’s happening with these kids now?
Such a lawless and amoral administration.
These kinds of headlines are so disheartening. I don’t want my tax dollars to go towards this sort of racist cruelty.
…oh holy fuck
