Evidence boundary
What the evidence establishes
- Eight dated actions run from March 6, 2025 to July 1, 2026.
- Committed money rose from about $41.3 million to about $165.0 million; about $131.1 million had been outlayed at the cutoff.
- Current award value is about $360.3 million, more than twice the amount obligated so far.
- The July 1, 2026 action is recorded as additional work requiring justification, not as a funding-only action.
What it does not establish
- It does not establish how many children or family members were transported, on what routes, or in whose custody they arrived.
- It does not establish why an action for additional work is dated after the recorded current period end of March 31, 2026; the record carries a potential end date of July 31, 2026 and this project has not reconciled the two.
- It does not establish who staffed any transport, or under what standards.
- It does not establish anything about the treatment of any person moved.
