WASHINGTON - (AP) -- Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen has drafted an executive action for President Donald Trump that would direct her department to keep families together after they are detained crossing the border illegally. She was at the White House where Trump told reporters he would be "signing something" shortly.
The effort to end what has become a major crisis for the Trump administration was outlined by two people familiar with Nielsen's thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the effort before its official announcement.
It's unclear exactly what the president might be supporting, but he said he would be signing something "in a little while."

He's proving he can solve problems that previous Presidents could not.
Paging Admiral Akbar!
Nothing he does will suit the screamers and dreamers. Stop trying to appease the rabid mob and follow the law as written until a new law comes along.
We don’t have the facilities, we’ll be going back to catch and release into the USA, never to be seen again.
The policy is working.
Illegal aliens not yet here are reconsidering.
Word had spread that bringing kids got you in, now word is spreading that you’ll be arrested and detained and separated.
Two alternatives to what they are doing now to adults caught sneaking in with kids:
1) Let them go free(AKA Catch and Release)
2) Imprison the kids with the parents till court resolution
Dem and the MSM will only accept #1.
CBS cut into programming to cover Trump and the Cabinet (I think) talking about it. Somebody said that a court case, Flores vs somebody, mandated that they be separated. So yeah a lawsuit is not out of the question. Because they demanded he do something immediately, and he did something immediately.
America!
Make up a lie.
Throw a big enough tantrum.
Get your way!
New law on Thursday. Make it big enough no one can read it and we can get everything we want in the immigration bill. It’s not like it hasn’t been discussed endlessly. Write it ALL down and pass it.
Do it now, do it with fanfare, get it off the elections table.
Like I said, wait and see what this EO actually says and does...

Easy.. SEND THEM BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM
They want asylum? Come in through legal entry points.
You werent paying attention to all the backflips they did on North Korea?
As a practical matter, Trump has to do this. Regardless, it’s bad optics, and the public will never get the true facts. Just Democrat and Media histeria right now. Trump is definitely growing in his job. Dont agree with everything he does, but he has been solid on the big picture, important things. Art of the deal.
Aren't most of the children in custody unaccompanied? They'll still be in custody.
Then that will prove he was following the law, Dems want him to break the law instead of doing their damn jobs and legislating.
If they keep families together they violate the law, unless they can process those cases in 20 days or less.... So better hire a bunch of new immigration judges... otherwise its back to just letting them run rampant
They will just make up another lie.
Throw another tantrum.
Get their way.
Ask the Americans that formerly ran businesses making Bump-Stocks.
“They want asylum? Come in through legal entry points.”
Aren’t they doing exactly that?
Entering the U.S. at an official border crossing, checking in with U.S. immigration, and applying for asylum?
Who is going to take it to court?
