With migrant children waiting on tarmacs to be sent to their native Guatemala, a federal judge Sunday temporarily blocked the flights, siding with attorneys for the children who said the government was breaking laws and sending their clients to potential peril. The Associated Press reports here.

U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, an appointee of President Biden, issued the order.  She was born in Trinidad an and Tobago to parents of Indian descent.
