I’d suspect that formal transfer of custody requires paperwork, and that paperwork is individual, and that paperwork has not been completed, not that the children are missing. ORR can’t take the responsibility of custody until the children are in the computers so they don’t fall through the cracks.

The immigration case is the 'right' way to solve the core problem. However, Judge XInis, the judge who has been in the trenches to protect Abrego's rights, can't really impact what happens in the immigration court and will have limited ability to correct a travesty of justice if one occurs.
