Judge Temporarily Blocks US Efforts to Remove some Immigrant Guatemalan and Honduran Children
Judge Rosemary Marquez's ruling ensures 69 Guatemalan and Honduran children in Arizona shelters keep their immigration rights amid legal challenges to government removal efforts.
- On August 30, 2025, an Arizona-based legal organization initiated a lawsuit representing 57 Guatemalan and 12 Honduran children, ranging in age from 3 to 17, who were residing in U.S. shelters or foster care.
- The lawsuit opposes the Trump administration's attempt over Labor Day weekend to remove these unaccompanied children without providing them the chance for a hearing before an immigration judge, as mandated by a 2008 law.
- Nearly all affected children were in U.S. Health and Human Services custody in Phoenix and Tucson, and the amended lawsuit includes additional children from Honduras and Guatemala who fear return.
- U.S. District Judge Rosemary Márquez in Tucson issued a temporary restraining order on September 11, 2025, expressing concern over children's access to legal review and coordination with their families.
- The ruling temporarily blocks child removals, implying continued court oversight to protect migrant children's legal rights and well-being amid disputed repatriation efforts.
