Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
INTRODUCTION
1. This is an emergency complaint accompanied by a request for a temporary
restraining order on behalf of hundreds of Guatemalan children at imminent risk of unlawful
removal from the United States.
2. Plaintiffs are ten (10) unaccompanied minors from Guatemala between the ages
of 10 and 17 whom Defendants are seeking to remove from the United States in clear violation
of the unambiguous protections that Congress has provided them as vulnerable children.
Plaintiffs have active proceedings before immigration courts across the country, yet Defendants
plan to remove them in violation of the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of
2008, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Constitution.
