The parties are reminded that the threshold issue for the court to address is whether the children’s habitual residence is in Mexico and whether they were wrongfully taken or retained therefrom. See 22 U.S.C. § 9003; see also Monasky v. Taglieri, 140 S. Ct. 719, 723 (2020) (“[A] child’s habitual residence depends on the totality of the circumstances specific to the case.”).
