    JUST IN: Senior Justice Department official Gene Hamilton confirms the Flores settlement still controls, and that unless Congress or the court acts, the government can only detain families together for "up to 20 days."

        I would expect you to be vigilant in your oversight of the administration and DOJ. They have to follow the law too, and yours is a coequal branch of government.

        Your constituents expect you to make sure the administration and DOJ return those 2,300 children to their parents with speed. Again. Coequal branch of government tasked with oversight of the Executive. Do your job.

        1) FYI, what he just signed is a continuation of his policy. It does not end this policy. He's not rescinding what he did, instead he's saying that kids can be with their parents during the detention process. That's going to be struck down in court.

        2) There's already established law saying he can't do that; as @SenatorLankford has shown. So when it gets struck down, Trump is going to try to blame judges for not just rescinding his order. Just passing the buck one more time in another attempt to be cruel.

        These laws come from congress. Whatever is happening on the border is on congress. Turn them all back, kids and all. You work for Americans not criminal illegal foreign invaders.

        Why don’t you put limits on the amount of money that can be sent to Central America and Mexico by Wire Transfers we know it’s significant and vital to their economies and funds the Traffickers. It would be for National Security. The Countries would respond!

        And why Trump's executive order is meaningless. Congress is slow. Republicans need to keep the pressure on him. You created this administration.

        Sir, the GOP has control of all 3 branches of the government. It’s up to YOU to do something. It’s time to stop yelling fire, and time to put it out. The Democrats can’t make this happen. Dems have to have the Republicans. The Republicans don’t need the Dems help.

        What is the plan for reuniting these children with their parents? Everything that trump does is so shady. He seems to make it up as he goes & there is zero oversight.

        Of course the chamber of commerce puppet in the senate is calling for a legislative fix which uses children as means to give amnesty to foreigners who will provide cheap labor to their donors

        And God knows you support incarcerating families indefinitely because you don't really have true human compassion. You're the typical GOP that says they are pro-life which means from conception to birth, after that, fuck them.
