- The children arrived in the U.S. alone, lack parents or legal guardians as sponsors, and face potential forced removal despite federal protections and child welfare mandates.
- Senator Ron Wyden warned the removals violate child welfare mandates, and experts described the U.S. government working with Guatemala to repatriate children as unprecedented and troubling.
- The plan threatens to separate vulnerable children from their families and lawyers, raising concerns about their safety and underscoring disputes over legal and moral obligations to protect them.
