Biden Judge Sooknanan From Trinidad Overrules President Trump, Stops Unaccompanied Guatemalan Children From Reuniting With Their Parents

In the middle of the night, a Federal Judge named Sparkle L. Sooknanan just overruled President Trump on deportation.

Sooknanan born in Trinidad and Tobago has overruled the duly elected President of the United States. She became a Federal Judge less than six months ago.

So she gets to overrule the President of the United States.

The children and their families requested that they be returned. Imagine, the children were already on the plane when the judge forced them to deplane.

The Justice Department arguing that children are not being removed, saying, “these are repatriations. All of these children have parent or guardian in Guatemala who have requested their return.” By the time the judge intervened, children were already on board awaiting departure and had to be deplaned notwithstanding the work that the State Department have done and working with the Guatemalan government for over a month to identify children who were smuggled into this country away from their parents, who are now sitting in foster homes and orphanages around this country, to send them back to their parents in Guatemala, this judge said, No, you cannot do it.

Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, slammed the judge’s decision, saying, “the Biden judge is effectively kidnapping these migrant children and refusing to let them return to their parents in their home country.” The judge’s order now blocks DHS from removing the children while this legal fight plays out.

US judge blocks Trump admin from deporting unaccompanied Guatemalan children

By Reuters, Aug. 31, 2025, 9:44 p.m. ET

WASHINGTON — A US federal judge on Sunday halted the Trump administration from deporting a group of migrant Guatemalan children already boarded onto planes and potentially hundreds more in government shelters after their lawyers made a pre-dawn emergency appeal.

The dramatic scene was reminiscent of other last-minute court challenges to Trump-era deportation efforts.

A little after 1 a.m. ET on Sunday, the National Immigration Law Center, a pro-immigrant advocacy group, filed an emergency motion with the US District Court in Washington, D.C. to halt the removal of 10 unaccompanied migrant children from Guatemala.

At a rare hearing over a holiday weekend, District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan said she had been awakened at 2:35 a.m. and alerted to the case. Sooknanan issued a temporary restraining order halting removal of the children, ages 10-17, for 14 days.

Sooknanan expanded the order to include any Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in the custody of the US Department of Health and Human Services. The complaint said this group could number hundreds of children.

A government lawyer confirmed Sunday evening that the children that it had planned to fly to Guatemala had been taken off the airplanes and were being returned to the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement.

President Donald Trump, a Republican, launched an immigration crackdown after returning to the White House in January, including an effort to track down and deport unaccompanied migrant children.

His administration struck an agreement with Guatemala that would allow unaccompanied children to be sent back to the country and planned to start deportations this weekend, one current and two former US officials told Reuters. The plans were first reported, opens new tab by CNN on Friday.

Migrant children who arrive at US borders without a parent or guardian are classified as unaccompanied and sent to federal government-run shelters until they can be placed with a family member or foster home, a process outlined in federal law.

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo said in July that his government was working with the US to repatriate unaccompanied children.
