US federal judge has temporarily blocked the deportation of unaccompanied Guatemalan children, including some already on planes. The 14-day restraining order ensures the safety of minors and allows proper legal review, according to Reuters.

The ruling applies to all unaccompanied Guatemalan children in federal care without finalized removal orders. Authorities confirmed that children already on flights were returned to shelters.

Advocates criticized the late-night deportation attempt as bypassing legal protections, while the Trump administration said the move aimed to reunite children with their families in Guatemala, Reuters reported.

A 6.0-magnitude earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan’s Nangarhar province on Sunday, killing nine people and injuring at least 25, Reuters reported.

The tremor, recorded at a shallow depth of about 10 kilometers, shook the region early in the day, according to the German Research Centre for Geosciences. Emergency teams were dispatched as hospitals in Nangarhar treated the wounded.

Afghanistan, prone to frequent quakes due to its location in a seismically active zone, has suffered devastating tremors in recent years, raising concerns over the vulnerability of its communities and infrastructure, according to Reuters.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said a suspect has been arrested over the shooting of Andriy Parubiy, the country’s former parliamentary speaker, who was gunned down in Lviv on Saturday, Reuters reported.

Interior Minister Ihor Klymenko said the man was caught in the Khmelnytskyi region and had carefully tracked Parubiy’s movements, mapped his route, and prepared an escape plan. Officials said the killing was premeditated.

Parubiy, 54, led parliament from 2016 to 2019 and was a prominent figure in Ukraine’s 2013–14 pro-European protests. Zelenskiy called his murder “horrific” and promised a full investigation.

President Donald Trump said on Sunday he will issue an executive order requiring voter identification for all ballots, declaring there would be “no exceptions.” He also pledged to restrict mail-in voting only to the seriously ill and military members overseas, Reuters reported.

The move reflects Trump’s continued push to overhaul US elections, fueled by his false claims that the 2020 race was marred by fraud. He has also called for replacing voting machines with paper ballots and hand counts, despite warnings from election officials that such measures would slow the process and reduce accuracy.

It remains unclear whether Trump has the legal authority to impose nationwide voting rules, since elections are run by individual states. According to Reuters, the plan is expected to face legal and political challenges as the 2026 midterms approach.
