Guatemalan document undercuts U.S. claims on child deportations
A Guatemalan report reveals that over half of families resist deportation of migrant children aged 10-17, contradicting U.S. claims of parental consent amid ongoing legal challenges.
- Over the weekend, efforts were made by the Trump administration to send unaccompanied Guatemalan migrant children between the ages of 10 and 17 back to their home country from shelters primarily located in south Texas.
- This followed an original plan to return minors nearing 18, but the administration quickly expanded the scope to younger children, surprising Guatemalan authorities.
- A Guatemalan official report and related legal documents released Wednesday indicate that many families opposed the return of their children, with authorities contacting only 115 of the 609 families and over half of those rejecting the deportation.
- Children described being abruptly woken around 2 a.m., feeling terrified and breathless, and some parents reported death threats against their children if returned.
- A federal judge blocked the deportations on Sunday until September 14 after lawyers filed an emergency motion, reflecting legal and familial resistance to the removals.
