Trump Calls for End to Policy of Separating Immigrant Families

President Trump tweeted on Saturday to "put pressure on the Democrats to end the horrible law" that separates immigrant children from their parents. Publications on the Left have argued that Trump's attacks on Democrats are unfounded, since the policy comes from the Trump administration's Justice Department. Those on the Right have said that the "zero-tolerance" policy was put into place to deter illegal immigrants from coming to the U.S. This story comes amid much backlash for the recent revelation from a Health and Human Services official that the government was unable to locate nearly 1,500 children who had been released from its custody.
