Trump Signs Order To End Border Family Separation Policy: AP

WASHINGTON, DC — President Donald Trump has reportedly signed an executive order ending the controversial policy of separating immigrant families at the border, according to The Associated Press. The Trump administration plans to detain parents and their kids together for the foreseeable future, The New York Times reported earlier in the day.

The new policy aims to bypass a consent decree that bars the federal government from keeping children in immigration detention for longer than 20 days.

“We’ve got to be keeping families together," Trump said Wednesday.
