During Labor Day weekend, the Trump administration attempted to remove Guatemalan children from U.S. shelters, prompting legal action from advocates who argued the children feared returning home and that the government bypassed legal protections. Federal judges in Illinois, Arizona, and Washington, D.C., issued temporary restraining orders halting the removals, while Guatemala’s president expressed concern over the process and stated that the U.S. government controls the pace of repatriations.
