Last night, we got the latest status report in the Ms. L family separation class action. Since the last report in May, another seven kids in US custody have been released, one to a parent and the rest to sponsors — that's 2,773 children released so far assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6142… 
As for identifying separated kids as part of the expanded class in the case, the govt is still working on it. They told the court that the universe of kids they're reviewing for eligibility in the case is smaller than originally estimated: 32,972, instead of 47,083
That doesn't mean all 32,972 were separated from parents at the border — that represents the number of kids who came through HHS during the time period in question who might fall under the case, but the govt doesn't know yet (it could incl. unaccompanied minors, for instance)
