"We are keeping families together this will solve that problem," Trump said at the Oval Office signing on Wednesday.Īt the Minnesota rally he added: "Today I signed an executive order we're gonna keep families together. Border and Sitting in Cages: Trump's Separation Policy in Picturesīut under serious pressure from congressional Republicans as well as his usual critics and opponents, Trump signed an executive order preventing the separation of undocumented children from the adults with whom they crossed the border. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen said she would not apologize for doing her job. Officials defended separating children, saying they are upholding the law. Around 2,000 children have been split from their families since the practice started being enforced.
Reports, images and audio from those detention centers show traumatized children crying out for their parents, huddled in cages and sleeping under space blankets. The adults are taken for prosecution and the children-including toddlers and babies-are sent alone to detention centers.
This meant any children accompanying undocumented adults crossing the border-their family members or guardians-were separated from them. In April, under Trump's "zero tolerance" practice for illegal immigration, Attorney General Jeff Sessions ordered that all those found crossing the southern border unlawfully be taken immediately for prosecution. Though his administration is under permanent siege because of the myriad scandals and controversies in which it is entangled, Trump is facing intense criticism over the issue of undocumented children separated from their families by border officials. "Was that a man or a woman because he needs a haircut more than I do?" Trump said as his fans cheered. Trump supporters booed as the man was escorted through the rally, still holding up the photo of Trump and Epstein, and chanted "USA!" Go home," Trump said as security made their way to the man, who was near to Trump at the front of the crowd. Earlier that day, Trump signed an executive order to keep undocumented families together as outcry continued to grow over the practice of separating children from their parents when they're caught crossing the U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to supporters during a campaign rally at the Amsoil Arena on June 20 in Duluth, Minnesota.
