A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on Sunday preventing the deportation of 10 unaccompanied migrant children to Guatemala. Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, a Biden appointee, ordered a 14-day halt to the deportations and scheduled a hearing following a legal challenge from the National Immigration Law Center. The advocacy group filed on behalf of children aged 10-17 who were facing removal under a recent agreement with Guatemala.
