ENSIGN says all 600 children in question are still in the United States, planes are grounded and will not leave while the judge's order is in place. He said it's possible one had taken off and was returned. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

600 children is the total number in the class protected by the judges order, I believe, please correct if wrong. They are not all in one place. And 600 14-15-16-17 yr olds are still 600 children (Epstein apologists can go to hell).
