Trump Administration Considers Separating Families to Combat Illegal Immigration

Caitlin Dickerson and Ron Nixon - The New York Times

This article from the New York Times claims "the Trump administration is considering a plan to separate parents from their children when families are caught entering the country illegally, according to officials who have been briefed on the plans. The forceful move is meant to discourage border crossings, but immigrant groups have denounced it as draconian and inhumane." This new policy is approved by the President and administration and is not awaiting the signature of the Homeland Security secretary.
