President Trump said today (June 20, 2018) that he is preparing to issue an executive order soon that ends the separation of families at the Mexican border by indefinitely detaining parents and children together, according to the NY Times website.
Incidents of children being taken from their parents and images of teenagers in cage-like detention facilities have exploded into a full-blown political crisis for Trump, as critics have called the practice "inhumane" and "evil."
Trump has for weeks refused to end the government's "zero tolerance" policy that led to the separation of more than 2,300 children from their parents, saying the alternative would greatly increase the number of illegal immigrants entering the U.S.
But the president -- furious about the criticism he has taken in recent days -- has decided to resolve the crisis.
