Trump's immigration order replaces one crisis with another
Donald Trump's immigration executive order attempts to solve one contentious action - the separation of families - but will bring back another - locking them up together indefinitely.
The order, which Trump signed Wednesday, directs the Department of Homeland Security to keep families intact when they are caught crossing the border. However, it seeks to allow families to be detained together throughout the duration of their court proceedings.
"The administration's idea of a solution to a problem it caused is to keep children jailed indefinitely alongside their parents," Rep. Pete Aguilar, D-Calif., told McClatchy. "Because immigration courts are flooded, cases can take months or years to adjudicate. It is immoral to lock up children for an undetermined amount of time while families wait through a drawn-out legal process."
