Guatemala and U.S. clash over migrant children deportations and repatriation plans

The U.S. government, under the Trump administration, attempted to deport unaccompanied Guatemalan children from shelters, but multiple court orders have temporarily halted these removals. Guatemala has expressed willingness to receive minors willing to return voluntarily, with ongoing discussions about the number of children to be repatriated, which could be around 600. Legal protections for migrant children aim to ensure their safety and proper legal process, but concerns remain about the government's adherence to these laws.
