A federal judge blocked the Trump administration on Thursday from immediately sending unaccompanied Guatemalan children from the United States to their home country, dealing the Trump administration a blow in a case that had become marked by confusion.

U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly, an appointee of President Donald Trump , issued a preliminary injunction , superseding a temporary restraining order issued by a federal judge appointed by former President Joe Biden that had blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to remove the unaccompanied children over Labor Day weekend.
