Children Deserve Protection, Not Midnight Deportations: 76 Guatemalan children, some as young as three, were loaded onto an airplane like bulk cargo over Labor Day weekend. These children were spared only thanks to the quick actions of their legal counsel and a federal judge awakened at 2:30 am, who put a halt to this charade. Under the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography (OPSC), the United States has a moral and legal obligation to protect children in its care.
