Trump signs executive order to stop family separations at border
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an
executive order to allow children to stay with parents caught crossing
the border illegally -- moving to stop the family separations that have
triggered a national outcry and political crisis for Republicans.
The measure would allow children to
stay in detention with parents for an extended period of time.
This
comes as congressional Republicans scramble to draft legislation to
address the same issue, but face challenges mustering the votes.
Trump, previewing the measure earlier in the day during a meeting with lawmakers, said the move would "be matched by legislation." He also said he's canceling the upcoming congressional picnic, adding: "It didn't feel exactly right to me."
