This case followed media reports revealing the Trump administration's plans to summarily deport hundreds of Guatemalan minors.

At 1:02am on August 31, 2025, ten Guatemalan unaccompanied minors (ages 10–17), represented by the National Immigration Law Center, filed this lawsuit on behalf of themselves and similarly situated children against multiple federal officials and agencies including the Department of Homeland Security and its Secretary Kristi Noem, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Office of Refugee Resettlement, the Department of Justice, and the State Department. Plaintiffs filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and alleged in their complaint that the ongoing deportations violated the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, the Immigration and Nationality Act, and the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution through national origin discrimination and violations of Plaintiffs' due process rights.

Immediately after filing, Plaintiffs moved for a TRO to halt the impending removals, which the court -- District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan --  granted, at 4:22am. The court ordered the defendants not to remove any of the individual plaintiffs from the United States for 14 days absent further order of the court and ordered a hearing for later that afternoon.  After receiving notice that putative class members were in the process of being removed from the United States, the court moved the hearing to earlier in the afternoon and, at that hearing, determined that the plaintiffs had satisfied the four factors governing the issuance of preliminary relief and, therefore, ordered that the defendants not transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States for 14 days absent further order.  The putative class included all Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refuge Resettlement custody, as of the time the complaint was filed, who were not subject to an executable final order of removal. The court further ordered that the defendants cease all ongoing efforts to transfer, repatriate, remove, or facilitate transport, and ordered them to file a status report to address the current status of deplaning putative class members and, if all class members had not been deplaned and moved back to the custody of ORR, when they expected that to occur.  After a back-and-forth of court orders requiring updated status reports from the defendant, a final status report, filed on September 1, 2025, reported that all putative class members had been returned to ORR custody.  

On September 2, the case was assigned to District Judge Timothy J. Kelly. 

On September 3, 2025, plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction. 

The case is ongoing.

MINUTE ORDER: The Court has reviewed the Plaintiffs' Complaint, Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, and Motion to Certify Class. Given the exigent circumstances, it has determined that an immediate Order is warranted to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set. The Plaintiffs have satisfied the four factors governing the issuance of preliminary relief, including irreparable harm from transportation outside the United States. In light of the Plaintiffs' 2 Motion for TRO and the Plaintiffs' 6 Motion to Certify Class, the Court further ORDERS that the Defendants shall not transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States for 14 days absent further Order of the Court. The Court ORDERS that the Defendants cease any ongoing efforts to transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States. The putative class includes all Guatemalan unaccompanied minors in Department of Health and Human Services Office of Refugee Resettlement custody as of 1:02 AM on August 31, 2025, the time of the filing of the Complaint, who are not subject to an executable final order of removal. "[B]ecause courts may issue temporary relief to a putative class, [the Court] need not decide whether a class should be certified as to the detainees' [] claims in order to temporarily enjoin the Government from removing putative class members."

MINUTE ORDER treating as opposed and granting Defendants' 25 Motion for One-Day Extension of Time to Respond to Plaintiffs' Motion for Class Certification. Defendants ask to move the deadline for their response to Plaintiffs' 6 Motion for Class Certification to September 6, 2025. For the reasons set forth in Defendants' 25 Motion, the Court finds that this brief extension is appropriate. The parties are endeavoring to meet an expedited briefing timeline, and the Court condensed that timeline even further when it granted Plaintiffs' 17 Motion requesting an extension of their deadline to file their preliminary-injunction motion. Plaintiffs will have the same amount of time to reply to Defendants' response because the Court will extend their reply deadline as well. Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that Defendants' 25 Motion is GRANTED. It is further ORDERED that Defendants' response to Plaintiffs' 6 Motion is due by September 6, 2025 and that Plaintiffs' reply in support of their 6 Motion is due by September 9, 2025.

MINUTE ORDER: The judge handling this case on an emergency basis, in response to rapidly unfolding circumstances, entered a temporary restraining order on August 31, 2025, at 12:37 p.m. that ordered Defendants not to "transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States." The case was not assigned to this Court until a few days later. Since then, including during the hearing on September 10, the factual record, the representations of the parties, and the relief requested by the Plaintiffs have continued to evolve. Thus, to allow the Court to fully consider these developments, the Court finds that "good cause," see Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2), supports a brief extension of the temporary restraining order entered on August 31, 2025, at 12:37 p.m. Thus, it is hereby ORDERED that the temporary restraining order entered on August 31, 2025, at 12:37 p.m. is hereby EXTENDED through September 16, 2025. Defendants remain under the same obligations until that time. To be clear: it is ORDERED that Defendants "shall not transfer, repatriate, remove, or otherwise facilitate the transport of any Plaintiff or member of the putative class from the United States" until after 11:59 p.m. on September 16, 2025, absent further order of the Court.
