In reversal, Trump signs order
stop to family separation rule
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
—
Bowing to pressure from
anxious allies, President
Donald Trump abruptly
reversed himself Wednes-
day and signed an executive
order halting his adminis-
tration’s policy of separat-
ing children from their par-
ents when they are detained
illegally crossing the U.S.
border.
It was a dramatic turn-
around for Trump, who has
been insisting, wrongly, that
his administration had no
choice but to separate fam-
ilies apprehended at the bor-
der because of federal law
and a court decision.
The order does not end
the “zero-tolerance” pol-
icy that criminally prose-
cutes all adults caught cross-
ing the border illegally. But,
at least for the next few
weeks, it would keep fami-
lies together while they are
in custody, expedite their
cases and ask the Defense
Department to help house
them. It also doesn’t change
anything yet for the some
2,300 children taken from
their families since the pol-
icy was put into place.
The news in recent days
has been dominated by sear-
ing images of children held
in cages at border facilities,
as well as audio recordings
of young children crying for
their parents — images that
have sparked fury, questions
of morality and concern
from Republicans about a
negative impact on their
races in November’s mid-
term elections.
Until Wednesday, the
president, Homeland Secu-
rity Secretary Kirstjen Niel-
sen and other officials had
repeatedly argued the only
way to end the practice was
for Congress to pass new
legislation, while Democrats

President Donald Trump signs an executive order to keep families together at the
border, but says that the ‘zero-tolerance’ prosecution policy will continue, during an
event in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington on Wednesday. Standing
behind Trump are Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, left, and Vice Pres-
ident Mike Pence.
said Trump could do it with
his signature alone. That’s
just what he did.
“We’re going to have
strong, very strong bor-
ders, but we’re going to
keep the families together,”
said Trump, who added that
he didn’t like the “sight” or
“feeling” of children sepa-
rated from their parents.
Under
a
previous
class-action settlement that
set policies for the treat-
ment and release of minors
caught at the border, fam-
ilies can only be detained
for 20 days. A senior Justice
Department official said that
hasn’t changed.
“This is a stopgap mea-
sure,” said Gene Hamilton,
counsel to the attorney gen-
eral. Justice lawyers were
planning to file a challenge
to the agreement, known as
the Flores settlement, ask-
ing that a judge allow for the
detention of families until
criminal and removal pro-
ceedings are completed.
So Trump’s order is
likely to create a fresh set
of problems and may well
spark a new court fight. It’s
unclear what happens if no
changes to law or the settle-
ment take place by the time
families reach the detain-
ment deadline.
The language also leaves
room to separate children
from parents if it’s best for
the child’s welfare.
And it didn’t do much for
the teeming outrage over the
issue. The Alabama-based
Southern Poverty Law Cen-
ter said the order didn’t go
nearly far enough.
“The administration still
plans to criminalize families
— including children — by
holding them in prison-like
detention facilities. There
are workable alternatives,”
president Richard Cohen
said in a statement.
It’s also unclear what
will happen to the children
already separated. Health
and Human Services Sec-
retary Alex Azar said his
department will start reunit-
ing detained immigrant chil-
dren with their parents —
but he made no specific
commitment on how quickly
that can be accomplished.
And officials said the cases
of the children already sep-
arated and turned over to
their custody would proceed
as usual.
Trump’s family appar-
ently played a role in his
turnaround.
A White House offi-
cial said first lady Melania
Trump had been making her
opinion known to the presi-
dent for some time that she
felt he needed to do all he
could to help families stay
together, whether by work-
ing with Congress or acting
on his own.
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Speaker Paul Ryan is
pushing ahead with votes
on rival House GOP immi-
gration bills, but neither
appears to have enough
support
for
passage,
prompting President Don-
ald Trump to take execu-
tive action Wednesday to
stem the crisis of family
separations at the border.
Trump has said he’s
“1,000 percent” behind
both GOP bills, but restive
House Republicans have
all but begged GOP lead-
ers for more clarity about
what the president would
actually sign. Public outcry
is mounting over the fam-
ily separations, but so far,
there’s no clear roadmap
for Thursday voting on the
emotional issue dividing
Republicans.
With the immigration
bills teetering in the House,
the White House launched
an eleventh-hour push to
try to bring Republicans
onboard.
A group of wavering
lawmakers was sent to the

White House to meet with
Trump in hopes he can per-
suade them, confirmed the
office of Rep. Steve Scal-
ise, the GOP whip. Back
on Capitol Hill, Home-
land Security Secretary
Kirstjen Nielsen was set to
meet with a larger group of
House Republicans.
But congressional action
remains uncertain. Facing
condemnation of the fam-
ily separations from across
the political spectrum, the
White House took action.
Trump on Wednesday
signed an executive order
drafted by Nielsen that
directs her department to
keep families together after
they are detained crossing
the border illegally.
“We’re going to have
strong, very strong bor-
ders, but we’re going to
keep the families together,”
said Trump, who added he
didn’t like the “sight” or
“feeling” of children sepa-
rated from their parents.
More than 2,300 chil-
dren were separated from
their families at the border
from May 5 through June
9, according to DHS.
