President Trump on Wednesday said he will sign an executive order intended to end his administration's controversial practice of separating children from their parents who illegally cross the southern border.
We want to keep families together. Its very important. Ill be signing something in a little while thats going to do that, Trump told reporters during a meeting with Republican lawmakers at the White House.
Details about the order remain unknown, but Trump said he would be signing the document before leaving for a Wednesday night campaign rally in Duluth, Minn.
The move would be a major reversal for Trump and comes after the president and his top aides insisted for days that only Congress could halt family separations at the border, despite members of both parties saying Trump could unilaterally change the policy.
Trump said during a speech on Tuesday that congressional action is the only solution to the border crisis.
Congress and the courts created this problem, and Congress alone can fix it, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said on Monday.

If they’re all incarcerated together then shipped back together, that’s fine. If the dems squawk about that, then they’re showing their true mission - to have them released with a future court date.
Caving only emboldens the left to attack the next bulwark with more violence.
Who who would have standing would challenge it?
Ivanka wins once again.
Oprah Nation prevails.
Um, no.
Indeed. Trump now for “comprehensive immigration reform”.
Wont be enough..the second he signs it the next argument will be “DONT PUT THEM IN JAIL, RELEASE THEM NOW” it will never be enough for these bastards, they want open borders
Can you return them immediately to their home country?
what an exercise in futility.
Before the ink is dry on the EO, the ACLU will be resurrecting their lawsuits from 2014, challenging keeping children with their parents.
The left isn’t going to like it.
Here’s what it should say.
Families remain together in a holding cell until the adults receive pre-printed felony convictions the day of capture.
They will then be held together until a quota is reached to charter all back to their country of origin.
A bill is sent to the country of origin.
Loop holes are all closed so no one gets even properly in for any asylum reasons.
I am reading all of these posts and I don’t understand what is the”cave”. Aren’t these people still arrested, still having to face the court and still having to go back to where they came from if it is determined they don’t meet the criteria? There is no catch and release? Am I wrong?
All I see is the families get to stay together under certain circumstances during the process.
I do agree with everyone as I don’t think Trump has the legal right to do this.
Yes, imo. He gave them what they wanted, and it won’t work for them either. Trump knows that.
They will continue to pitch a fit, and that will ring hollow.
“Wont be enough..the second he signs it the next argument will be DONT PUT THEM IN JAIL, RELEASE THEM NOW it will never be enough for these bastards, they want open borders”
Next EO:
Release them south of the border as a family unit.
Caving only emboldens the left to attack the next bulwark with more violence.

Yup. Trump should have went on offense with this issue. Anytime the Left feels like they’ve influenced politics in here and now through a temper tantrum, they’ll be emboldened.
Truth - and how better to point that out to not only the General Public but also Congress. Now if there isn’t a challenge - then I’ll be wondering. (BTW - ACLU et all immediate response? It was never about the family separation: https://twitchy.com/gregp-3534/2018/06/20/linda-sarsour-aclu-prove-once-and-for-all-it-was-never-about-family-separation/ ) Maybe falling on their face in public will make them wonder why the President stepped back?
How nice .
Just like the Budget .
We have Ryan amnesty on the way , Chuck .
The stupid party strikes again .
Precisely
With my pen, Chuck, and not a phone,
I do hereby decree,
All fern families are gonna be set free!
Just step on line and left yer feets,
And sit in them sweet yellow bus seats!
Adios,
POTUS DJT
