President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that he says will keep migrant families together during detention on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The president will not abandon his "zero tolerance" policy of criminally prosecuting all adults who cross U.S. borders illegally.
Earlier, he signaled he would sign a measure to stop his administration's splitting of migrant families.
"I'll be signing something in a little while that's going to do that," he told reporters during a White House event after saying he wanted families to be kept together. "I'll be doing something that's somewhat pre-emptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I'm sure."
Trump added: "We're keeping families together, but we have to keep our borders strong. We will be overrun with crime and with people that should not be in our country."
The order is expected to allow families to be housed together even while adults in the family are being detained or prosecuted for crossing the U.S. border illegally or for seeking asylum at the border outside of a designated border entry point.

Hey Rachel madcow cru about that
And the lying media WINS again.
When do we get OUR damn WALL ???!!!
Sad.
However misguided and/or malevolent the other side is, at least they fight to the last for what they believe in. I can respect that, even though I sometimes hate it. The GOP’s stones, on the other hand, are apparently in a jar on Tom Donahue’s desk.
Next up, children billited with adults being abused.
So after all the teeth gnashing here, all the President did was change the sleeping arrangements.

Yep. They can all stay in jail together. :)
No. That's a complete misreading by the media.
It is a crime to seek asylum outside designated US entry points. You can't tramp across the desert and then cry "asylum". You can only request asylum at official border crossings.
Somehow that fact is getting mixed up in some reports which imply that the criminals will be held outside our borders. I don't think so, but I would love to be corrected if I'm wrong.
How does he propose to determine that?
President Trump, you continue to amaze us with your ability to get a job done, no matter how tough the process might be.
So very proud and happy that we voted you into this office.
Get ‘em Tiger, or Lion; but certainly not your normal elephant.
Turn them right around to Mexico and tell them, “We have your application; if we decide you can come here, we’ll let you know.”
I was just on my daughter’s FB Page ( I refuse to join) and the comments are unbelievable. Pictures from the Obama years that they’re blaming on a Trump.
Will they be doing DNA tests to prove they’re actually families and not child traffickers? This latest democrat distraction off their wrongdoing is getting out of hand.
Same way as before I guess. I just posted the text of the EO. That’s all.
Our enemies need no emboldening, they are already seditious.
Where exactly is the problem? They certainly have not won anything with this especially with four months to go. It will be forgotthen by then - squeezed off the headlines by what ever other distraction they can come up with. More women I suspect.
The message is loud and clear and the ILLegalists don’t like it one bit. Trump has called their bluff yet again.
I would join just to dispute the false info.
.
OK-’together’... on their way back to their f’n homes
Details from the EO:
They’re going to ask Judge Gee to modify her ruling, extending the 20 day rule. I think she ruled on the Flores Settlement so if she says no, Flores stands & kids remain separated. That’s my take on it.
Obongo appointed her..
There is no “amnesty bill” for him to veto.
Gitmo?
No he didn’t.
Yep... for some, this won’t be enough; for others, there’ll be new outrages to tend to.
