Judges have raised concerns that immigrants’ due process rights are being violated. On Sunday, Sooknanan voiced concern for unaccompanied children’s due process rights, and temporarily halted planes carrying the minors from taking off. The Trump administration in January expanded expedited removal to apply nationwide, rather than only within 100 miles of the southern border. Sooknanan’s order applies to all roughly 2,000 Guatemalan unaccompanied children in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. The case involving the unaccompanied children was reassigned to judge Timothy James Kelly, whom Trump appointed in 2017.
