WHAT’S HAPPENING: Trump order sows confusion on the border
President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday worked on a plan to reunite separated families, and detained parents struggled to get in touch with their children, some of whom were being held hundreds of miles away. Trump himself took a hard line on the crisis, accusing the Democrats of telling “phoney stories of sadness and grief.” A look at the latest developments:
CONFUSION ON THE BORDER
Trump’s order to stop separating migrant children from their parents spread confusion along the border, with officials sending conflicting signals about the state of the administration’s “zero tolerance” policy.
Some parents said they did not even know where their children were. Others said they had been deported without them.
