After massive outcries, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday (June 20) to keep families together.
President Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed his debunked argument that he had no authority to stop separations of undocumented immigrant families at the border, signing an executive order to keep parents and kids together. “We’re signing an executive order. I consider it to be a very important executive order. It’s about keeping families together, while at the same time being sure we have a very powerful, very strong border,” Trump said. Over the past 24 hours, social media has ignited with emotional messages about what’s happening. (CNN)
