Well, nothing screams child trafficking more than trying to deport 600 unaccompanied minors to Guatemala in the middle of the night on a holiday weekend, amirite? I mean, if this was legit, Mad King Donald would be having Fox "News" broadcast the deportations on their morning show.

But U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan told the administration, "nope," ain't gonna' letcha do that.

Sooknanan expressed skepticism during the hearing over the legality of the administration’s attempt to repatriate the children. She said she received notice of the complaint at 2 a.m. Sunday and that she personally tried to reach the U.S. attorney’s office, leaving a voice message at 3:43 a.m. saying that she wanted to hear from the government before she issued her temporary restraining order

“We are here on a holiday weekend where I have the government attempting to remove unaccompanied minors from the country in the wee hours of the morning on a holiday weekend, which is surprising, but here we are,” she said.


Here we are, indeed.

Been sayin' that a lot lately.

But never fear, republicans love the little children.

Unless they're brown.

I just wonder what's going on over there where people are giving orders to round up kids and plane them out without so much as a hearing. I hate to say it, but I don't think it really bothers them. It's a job. Parts of Guatemala have become extremely dangerous, so be sure there;s someone at the other end.

Yep, Guatemala City has a peace index of 39 and DC has a peace index of 41. (Dug those numbers up a while ago on GROK, however when I go back and research I am not able to find recent data so GROK may have been BSing me) However, on the Global Peace index Guatemala ranks 108 while the USA ranks 128.

Maybe the administration is just trying to protect the munchkins. 😉

Qazu, crime and violence has gone up recently in Guatemala, it had been declining. 2025 - 59.5 Guatemala, 49.3, US with higher # worse. The surrounding states in the area are worse though. I remember Guatemala as fairly peaceful for a Latin American state. See the link and run your cursor over the map.
