Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
A federal judge in Washington state is blocking the Trump administration from deporting hundreds of children from Guatemala.
NPR's Kiara Eisner reports the ruling came after many of the kids had been placed on planes.
After CNN reported Friday that the U.S. was planning to send hundreds of Guatemalan children back to their country.
Lawyers for the children scrambled to petition the government to halt the process.
Minors who enter the U.S. unaccompanied like these did are supposed to be held under the care of the Department of Health and Human Services and are not allowed to be deported without first having the full opportunity to apply for legal status.
On Sunday, a federal judge temporarily halted the removals, then held a hearing with lawyers.
As the hearing went on,
a U.S. attorney confirmed that some of the children were already loaded on planes.
The judge blocked the U.S. from removing the children for the next 14 days as lawyers continued to discuss the case.
