In a classic case of 'You break it, you buy it,' a U.S. federal judge put the kibosh on deporting unaccompanied Guatemalan children, effectively freezing this international game of hot potato.

This diplomatic ping-pong is unfolding under the watchful eye of a nameless federal judge whose decision has turned this juvenile Jenga tower into a bureaucratic standoff. The 2024 saga continues—no refunds.
