The Court would have granted Petitioners a stay of removal, but was informed that Petitioners were removed earlier today.

If the government is unable to intercept Petitioners at the airport, they must locate Petitioners in Guatemala and return them to the United States as quickly as possible. Upon their return, Petitioners are granted a stay of removal pending disposition of their petition for review. If, upon contact, Petitioners inform the government that they do not want to return to the United States, the government shall secure a written memorialization to that effect — even if that writing is in Spanish.

Third Circuit Chief Judge Theodore A. McKee signed the order.
