The number of kids on the planes is smaller than the number of kids in the putative class of people covered by the judge’s TRO

The number of children in the class action versus the number of children on the plane(s) (I think)

Right. So what is happening with the rest of the kids?

this is not a researched or informed answer, but I presumed they were not at risk of like-tonight imminent deportation, but were added to the class so if the action prevails, they would all receive protection

Right

I give the current administration zero benefit of the doubt. I'd like to see this specifically spelled out.

No, heard that too...

Here is a CNN report that gives the 600 number. Trump Admin Sending 600 Guatemalan Kids Back Home in New 'Repatriation' Move—Report - Newsweek share.google/R8Ko0xRcQCW3...

Our brilliant host M. Bowers says "hundreds" here: Emergency Hearing over the Removal of Unaccompanied Minors to Guatemala | Lawfare share.google/NaS2PKPI9WOm...

But the most recent updates only say 76. Of which 10 are named. Did the other 524 never exist? (Reporting was fast and loose). Or are they covered by implication?

I think that there were a total of 600 that they wanted to deport, but a much smaller number involved with this particular action.

Well, they want to deport anyone darker than ecru, but I get your point.

Yeah, which is why I’m happy that class action covers all of the kids.

Does it? (Please understand that I am not being intentionally argumentative) Can you give a reference? Everything I have seen lists the class as 76 children with 10 named.

I could be wrong. I thought all 600 were protected, maybe not as part of the class but as part of her order.

And our host M. Bowers has answered in the affirmative.

Yes, I just saw that!
