Immigration authorities in Texas had placed 76 minors onto three planes around 1:00 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 31, when the judge issued the restraining order.
The judge said her order applied to all Guatemalan minors being held by the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which could be as many as 700 children.
Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo said to reporters on Monday that he wanted to prevent vulnerable children from being sent to ICE detention centers.
Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for the Department of Homeland Security, wrote on X that the move blocks “flights to *reunify* Guatemalan children with their families.
Immigration defense lawyers say the move was a blatant violation of the minors’ rights.
