Have you read any articles claiming that undocumented young children are a danger to America? Have you heard any newscasts from Fox News announcing that undocumented children are out there raping and pillaging?
No?
Neither have I.
All I can say about these children is that, being alone and frightened, they urgently need the care and compassion they are unlikely to get from Trump and his band of MAGAs.
If the following article doesn’t make MAGAs sick and ashamed of what is happening to America, they indeed are the disgrace that Trump has made them.
Trump just tried to break the law on a holiday weekend

Jessica Corbett, September 01, 2025 | 07:29AM ETIn an effort reminiscent of US President Donald Trump using the Alien Enemies Act to send hundreds of migrants to a Salvadoran prison, his administration just tried to deport more than 600 unaccompanied children to Guatemala over Labor Day weekend—though for now, a federal judge’s order appears to have halted the plan, unlike last time.
Take a moment to let that sink in:
More than 600 unaccompanied children.
There is no reason for it. Trump, the heartless coward, does it simply because he can. This is how the world sees America now, no longer the “shining city on a hill,” but as a low, mean-spirited, cowardly dictatorship, crouching in the shadows of shame.
CNN exclusively reported Friday morning that the Trump administration was “moving to repatriate hundreds of Guatemalan children” who arrived in the United States alone and were placed in the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement. Subsequent reporting confirmed plans to deport the kids, who are ages 10-17.
Fearing their imminent removal after the administration reportedly reached an agreement with the Guatemalan government, the National Immigration Law Center (NILC) launched a class action lawsuit around 1:00 am Sunday, seeking an emergency order that was granted just hours later by a federal judge in Washington, D.C.
“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,” NILC’s complaint explains.
Efrén C. Olivares, vice president of litigation and legal strategy at the NILC, said that “it is a dark and dangerous moment for this country when our government chooses to target orphaned 10-year-olds and denies them their most basic legal right to present their case before an immigration judge.”
“The Constitution and federal laws provide robust protections to unaccompanied minors specifically because of the unique risks they face,” Olivares noted. “We are determined to use every legal tool at our disposal to force the administration to respect the law and not send any child to danger.”
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued the order just after 4:00 am Sunday, finding that the “exigent circumstances” described in the lawsuit warranted immediate action “to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set.”The judge, a Biden appointee, initially scheduled a virtual hearing on the matter for 3:00 pm Sunday, but later moved up the hearing to 12:30 pm after being notified that some minors covered by the suit were “in the process of being removed from the United States.”
Sharing updates from the hearing on social media, Cheney reported that Sooknanan took a five-minute recess so that US Department of Justice attorney Drew Ensign could ensure that the details of her order reached the Trump administration, which is pursuing mass deportations. Ensign confirmed to the judge that while it’s possible one plane took off and then returned, all the children are still in the United States.
Following the judge’s intervention, NILC’s Olivares said in a statement that “in the dead of night on a holiday weekend, the Trump administration ripped vulnerable, frightened children from their beds and attempted to return them to danger in Guatemala.”
“We are heartened the court prevented this injustice from occurring before hundreds of children suffered irreparable harm,” he added. “We are determined to continue fighting to protect the interest of our plaintiffs and all class members until the effort is enjoined permanently.”
Next year, we will have midterm elections. Keep this disgusting cruelty in mind when you enter the voting booth. Decide whether this purposeless cruelty against helpless children is the America you want.
You know who is doing it. You know they will keep doing it if given the opportunity. Never forget what they are.
Children, for God’s sake. Children! What is wrong with those people?

MONETARY SOVEREIGNTY
#Monetary Sovereignty - Mitchell 
The U.S. government insists it’s reuniting the Guatemalan children — at the Central
American nation’s request — with parents or guardians who sought their return. Lawyers
for at least some of the minors say that’s untrue and argue that in any event, authorities
still would have to follow a legal process that they did not.
One girl said her parents, in Guatemala, got a strange phone call a few weeks ago saying
the U.S. was deporting her, said one of the attorneys, Efrén C. Olivares of the National
Immigration Law Center.
The 16-year-old, who has been living in a New York shelter, said in a court filing that she’s
an honors student about to start 11th grade, loves living in the U.S. and is “deeply afraid of
being deported.”
Other children — identified only by their initials — said in court documents that they had
been neglected, abandoned, physically threatened or abused in their home country.
“I do not have any family in Guatemala that can take good care of me,” a 10-year-old said in
a court filing. A 16-year-old recalled experiencing “threats against my life” in Guatemala.
“If I am sent back, I believe I will be in danger,” the teen added.
Sunday’s court hearing came in a case filed in federal court in Washington, but similar
legal actions also were filed elsewhere.
In a lawsuit in Arizona, the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project said one of its
clients is a 12-year-old asylum-seeker who has chronic kidney disease, needs dialysis to
stay alive and will need a kidney transplant. Two other plaintiffs, a 10-year-old boy and his
3-year-old sister, don’t have family in Guatemala and don’t want to return, according to the
group.
Migrant children who arrive in the U.S. without their parents or guardians are routinely
handed over to the Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Refugee
Resettlement. They often live in government-supervised shelters or with foster care
families until they can be released to a sponsor — usually a relative — in the U.S.
Many of those from Guatemala request asylum or pursue other legal avenues to get
permission to stay.
An attorney with the National Center for Youth Law said the organization started hearing a
few weeks ago from legal service providers that Homeland Security Investigations agents
were interviewing children — particularly Guatemalans — in facilities of the Office of
Refugee Resettlement.
The agents asked the children about their relatives in Guatemala, said the attorney, Becky
Wolozin.
Then, on Friday, advocates began getting word that their young clients’ immigration court
hearings were being canceled, Wolozin said.
Shaina Aber of Acacia Center for Justice, an immigrant legal defense group, said it was
notified Saturday evening that officials had drafted a list of children to return to
Guatemala. Advocates learned that the flights would leave from the Texas cities of
Harlingen and El Paso, Aber said.
It’s unclear whether any planes actually departed. Government lawyer Drew Ensign told
the Washington judge that one plane might have taken off but then returned.
The Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and HHS
did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.
White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said on X that the Guatemalan
government formally requested the children’s return and that the judge was “refusing to
let them reunify with their parents.”
The judge said she was awakened at 2:30 a.m. to address the emergency filing from the
children’s lawyers, who wrote in bold type that flights might be leaving within the ensuing
two to four hours. Sooknanan spent hours trying to reach federal attorneys and get
answers, she said.
“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,” Sooknanan said
at the midday hearing, later adding: “Absent action by the courts, all of those children
would have been returned to Guatemala, potentially to very dangerous situations.”
