It says that while the administration will \"rigorously\" enforce immigration laws, it is \"also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">You can read the full executive order here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also directs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to find housing for these families and to build facilities if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 court order currently prevents the federal government from detaining children with their parents in detention centers for more than 20 days. This decision was in a case that established standards for the care of migrant children — what is known as the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement. In the order, the president also directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to file a request in U.S. District Court in California to modify the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement so that the families could be detained together until their court dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order also provides that the Department of Homeland Security won't detain an immigrant family together \"when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child's alien parent would pose a risk to the child's welfare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaction to the executive order began coming almost immediately. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1009518490401812481\">thanked her father on Twitter\u003c/a> for \"taking critical action ending family separation at our border.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, indicated they were not satisfied with the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This Executive Order doesn't fix the crisis,\" said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529087566794752\">on Twitter\u003c/a>. \"Indefinitely detaining children with their families in camps is inhumane and will not make us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also noted that the executive order does not say anything about reuniting the more than 2,000 children who have been separated from the parents as part of the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When will they see their parents again?\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529532632707072\">she said\u003c/a>. \"They must be reunited immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conference call with reporters Wednesday evening about the order, Gene Hamilton, counselor to Sessions, referred questions about families that have already been separated to DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the president signed the order, lawmakers from both parties, mindful of how frequently Trump reverses course — particularly on immigration, where he has repeatedly shifted positions within the course of hours — waited to see the details of what it would do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., repeatedly shrugged his shoulders when asked about Trump's announcement. \"I don't have much hope with the president that he'll do something that's actually good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's thinking of doing something?\" asked Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del. \"I need to see what he actually does to have any real comment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, one of 13 Senate Republicans who signed a letter urging Trump to end his administration's separation policy, was also waiting on the yet unknown details. \"If that's what he's done, then that's a good thing,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Barack Obama also \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155952276261749\">released a statement\u003c/a> via Facebook Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To watch those families broken apart in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents' arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?\" he said. \"Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his remarks Wednesday morning, Trump again called on Congress to pass legislation to address the issue of family separations, which was created by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/29/615211215/fact-check-are-democrats-responsible-for-dhs-separating-children-from-their-pare\">his administration's policy\u003c/a>.

The first will be a hard-line option written by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to cut back on both legal and illegal immigration. The second option is a compromise between conservatives and Republican moderates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both bills include language to end the controversial White House policy of separating migrant parents from their children at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tomorrow we're going to have a vote on legislation that makes sure we can enforce our laws and keep families together,\" Ryan told reporters at a weekly press briefing. \"We don't think families should be separated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan said it is a \"ridiculous choice\" to decide between separating families and enforcing laws, and that both bills up for consideration would take steps to solve the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But multiple House Republicans say they don't believe that either bill can pass, even after Trump told GOP members he would support them on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservative Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, told NPR's Rachel Martin that both bills represent a compromise, and neither has sufficient support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think either of them can pass right now,\" Davidson said. \"The compromise that's most recent is a compromise within a compromise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump told Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday night that he would support them \"1,000 percent\" on immigration but did not specifically back either bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Democrats spent Wednesday morning calling on Trump and congressional Republicans to end the policy in speeches on the House floor.

It says that while the administration will \"rigorously\" enforce immigration laws, it is \"also the policy of this Administration to maintain family unity, including by detaining alien families together where appropriate and consistent with law and available resources.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/affording-congress-opportunity-address-family-separation/\">You can read the full executive order here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also directs Defense Secretary Jim Mattis to find housing for these families and to build facilities if necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2015 court order currently prevents the federal government from detaining children with their parents in detention centers for more than 20 days. This decision was in a case that established standards for the care of migrant children — what is known as the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement. In the order, the president also directs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to file a request in U.S. District Court in California to modify the \u003cem>Flores\u003c/em> settlement so that the families could be detained together until their court dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order also provides that the Department of Homeland Security won't detain an immigrant family together \"when there is a concern that detention of an alien child with the child's alien parent would pose a risk to the child's welfare.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reaction to the executive order began coming almost immediately. Trump's daughter, Ivanka, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/IvankaTrump/status/1009518490401812481\">thanked her father on Twitter\u003c/a> for \"taking critical action ending family separation at our border.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats, however, indicated they were not satisfied with the action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This Executive Order doesn't fix the crisis,\" said Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529087566794752\">on Twitter\u003c/a>. \"Indefinitely detaining children with their families in camps is inhumane and will not make us safe.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris also noted that the executive order does not say anything about reuniting the more than 2,000 children who have been separated from the parents as part of the policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When will they see their parents again?\" \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/SenKamalaHarris/status/1009529532632707072\">she said\u003c/a>. \"They must be reunited immediately.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a conference call with reporters Wednesday evening about the order, Gene Hamilton, counselor to Sessions, referred questions about families that have already been separated to DHS and the Department of Health and Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the president signed the order, lawmakers from both parties, mindful of how frequently Trump reverses course — particularly on immigration, where he has repeatedly shifted positions within the course of hours — waited to see the details of what it would do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., repeatedly shrugged his shoulders when asked about Trump's announcement. \"I don't have much hope with the president that he'll do something that's actually good.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's thinking of doing something?\" asked Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del. \"I need to see what he actually does to have any real comment.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, one of 13 Senate Republicans who signed a letter urging Trump to end his administration's separation policy, was also waiting on the yet unknown details. \"If that's what he's done, then that's a good thing,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former President Barack Obama also \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/barackobama/posts/10155952276261749\">released a statement\u003c/a> via Facebook Wednesday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"To watch those families broken apart in real time puts to us a very simple question: are we a nation that accepts the cruelty of ripping children from their parents' arms, or are we a nation that values families, and works to keep them together?\" he said. \"Do we look away, or do we choose to see something of ourselves and our children?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During his remarks Wednesday morning, Trump again called on Congress to pass legislation to address the issue of family separations, which was created by \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/05/29/615211215/fact-check-are-democrats-responsible-for-dhs-separating-children-from-their-pare\">his administration's policy\u003c/a>.

The first will be a hard-line option written by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., to cut back on both legal and illegal immigration. The second option is a compromise between conservatives and Republican moderates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both bills include language to end the controversial White House policy of separating migrant parents from their children at the border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Tomorrow we're going to have a vote on legislation that makes sure we can enforce our laws and keep families together,\" Ryan told reporters at a weekly press briefing. \"We don't think families should be separated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan said it is a \"ridiculous choice\" to decide between separating families and enforcing laws, and that both bills up for consideration would take steps to solve the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But multiple House Republicans say they don't believe that either bill can pass, even after Trump told GOP members he would support them on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Conservative Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, told NPR's Rachel Martin that both bills represent a compromise, and neither has sufficient support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't think either of them can pass right now,\" Davidson said. \"The compromise that's most recent is a compromise within a compromise.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump told Republicans during a closed-door meeting Tuesday night that he would support them \"1,000 percent\" on immigration but did not specifically back either bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Democrats spent Wednesday morning calling on Trump and congressional Republicans to end the policy in speeches on the House floor.

The farm bill is now on hold until a path forward on immigration is clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, a competing group of moderate Republicans continues to advance a discharge petition over the vocal opposition of the speaker to force the House to vote on a competing series of immigration proposals. The goal is to ultimately pass a more centrist bill that Democrats can support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think that it's important to have something that will get 60 votes in the Senate; that means getting Democrats on board. We will have Democrats on board in the House as well,\" said GOP Rep.

If successful, it requires a short waiting period and can be voted on in the House only on the second or fourth Monday in a month the chamber is in session. It rarely succeeds because, by design, it undercuts the will of the majority party, and Ryan reiterated Tuesday he opposes that effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/613317049/613449591\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can guarantee you a discharge petition will not make law, so what's the point?\" the speaker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point to a growing number of lawmakers is that inaction on immigration is worse than taking tough votes in an election year.

The other two options are still poorly defined, but at least one would be a bill crafted by GOP leaders and sponsored by Ryan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is rare for leaders to back a process that evades their control of the House floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters Wednesday that he \"doesn't like discharge petitions\" but declined to answer when asked if he was formally working to persuade members not to sign the immigration petition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan hasn't formally weighed in, but he has for months called on House members to work on crafting immigration legislation through normal committee channels — a position reiterated Wednesday by Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to work with our members to find a solution that can both pass the House and get the president's signature,\" Strong said in a statement\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is gaining steam despite leadership objections. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discharge petition was filed Wednesday morning with seven signatures.

Members have successfully forced votes on major legislation only twice in the past 20 years: the McCain-Feingold campaign reform bill in 2001 and a 2015 measure to reinstate the Export-Import Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unconventional plan has been in the works for several months, but it rapidly gained support in April after Ryan announced that he plans to retire at the end of 2018. Ryan had been pushing members to focus on crafting an immigration bill that Trump could support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forcing votes on immigration could be politically risky for Republicans who have struggled to find a unified message on the subject. A vote this summer could re-expose fissures within the party over protecting DACA recipients and deep disagreements with Trump over his demands for a wall along the border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has said he won't sign new immigration protections without funding for the wall and greater border security. So far Congress has failed to come up with any legislation that would satisfy those demands while still getting the necessary votes from moderates in the House and Democrats in the Senate, where bipartisan support is needed to avoid a filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporting immigration is also good politics for some Republicans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah Republican Mia Love, one of dozens of House Republicans facing a serious challenge in November, said she backs the petition precisely because it would give every member of Congress the opportunity to go on record on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want the White House to come up with their plans and the Senate to come up with their plans,\" Love said. \"Our job is to make sure all of the bills that all of us have worked really hard on have a voice on the floor.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

The other two options are still poorly defined, but at least one would be a bill crafted by GOP leaders and sponsored by Ryan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is rare for leaders to back a process that evades their control of the House floor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., told reporters Wednesday that he \"doesn't like discharge petitions\" but declined to answer when asked if he was formally working to persuade members not to sign the immigration petition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan hasn't formally weighed in, but he has for months called on House members to work on crafting immigration legislation through normal committee channels — a position reiterated Wednesday by Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We continue to work with our members to find a solution that can both pass the House and get the president's signature,\" Strong said in a statement\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The measure is gaining steam despite leadership objections. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The discharge petition was filed Wednesday morning with seven signatures. The number more than doubled to 17 by midafternoon. Sponsors said they expect all 193 Democrats will eventually join them — meaning the effort could be fewer than 10 votes short of success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every member should be for this discharge petition and this process,\" Curbelo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It isn't rare for members to file discharge petitions; what's rare is for the petitions to succeed. Members have successfully forced votes on major legislation only twice in the past 20 years: the McCain-Feingold campaign reform bill in 2001 and a 2015 measure to reinstate the Export-Import Bank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unconventional plan has been in the works for several months, but it rapidly gained support in April after Ryan announced that he plans to retire at the end of 2018. Ryan had been pushing members to focus on crafting an immigration bill that Trump could support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forcing votes on immigration could be politically risky for Republicans who have struggled to find a unified message on the subject. A vote this summer could re-expose fissures within the party over protecting DACA recipients and deep disagreements with Trump over his demands for a wall along the border with Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump has said he won't sign new immigration protections without funding for the wall and greater border security. So far Congress has failed to come up with any legislation that would satisfy those demands while still getting the necessary votes from moderates in the House and Democrats in the Senate, where bipartisan support is needed to avoid a filibuster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But supporting immigration is also good politics for some Republicans. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Utah Republican Mia Love, one of dozens of House Republicans facing a serious challenge in November, said she backs the petition precisely because it would give every member of Congress the opportunity to go on record on immigration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We want the White House to come up with their plans and the Senate to come up with their plans,\" Love said. \"Our job is to make sure all of the bills that all of us have worked really hard on have a voice on the floor.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.
