So Trump signed an executive order ending this practice, crisis over!
... Except that it doesn't free any of the imprisoned children, much less reunite them with their parents... not that they kept track of which children arrived with which children anyway (there was a very disturbing article making this point), so how would they even do that?
... Or that it's being paired with a lawsuit to end the current 20 day limit on holding children, so the administration can hold immigrant children and families indefinitely in private prisons?
And surely more?
I really hope that the press doesn't act like he did something good here.
