President Trump said he wasn’t looking to reinstate the much-criticized practice of separating migrant families at the border with Mexico, but says many more migrants are streaming toward the U.S. through Mexico because the practice is no longer in place.
President Trump says he's the one who stopped the policy and that President Obama is the one who separated children from their families.
Trump declared that he was"the one that stopped it" and said his predecessor, President Obama, was the one who had separated children from their families. Trump, for his part, insisted he was not"cleaning house" at the agency despite a number of staff changes. He said his choice to be the department's new acting director, Kevin McAleenan, would do a"fantastic job," adding:"We're not doing anything very big as far as what we need: homeland security, that's exactly what we want."
At a Senate Homeland Security Committee meeting on border issues, child welfare and border officials warned there wasn't room or capability to start separating children on a large scale again.
