“POTUS signed an executive order to end family separations at the border,” per White House pool report. “He sat at the Resolute desk in the Oval Office with VPOTUS on his left and Kirstjen Nielsen on his right. More to follow.” We do not yet have the text of the order.

So it is a ruse. The EO does nothing, changes nothing, has no effect whatsoever.
-
Disclaimer: Not a lawyer. Did spend many years working for 'em tho. As I read it, yes, you're right. It changes custody of the children from Health and Human Services to Homeland Security, which obviously is purely technical. That's the only actual alteration I can find in it.
-
The EO allows DHS to take the whole family into custody during the pendency of the immigration court, but since they can’t keep kids in jail for more than a few days, it means that after a few days they will separate the kids from the parents.
-
Dammit. These people, I don't know how they live with themselves. Trump is a sadistic narcissist, sure, but there are thousands of others involved in this.

Trump et al have no intention of following through on this. Children will continue to be separated and they’re counting on the news cycle moving on

If the judge does not approve do the kids stay separated or do the families get set free.

The usual - create a crisis, appear to do something to fix it without doing anything, hope the pictures and stories and protests will stop so Americans forget. Our job is to remember, and to continue to protest. See you June 30.

.In other words, like any magician
@realDonaldTrump he says, “NOW you see it; now you don’t” w/an order that will NOT STOP this barbaric practice at ALL; leaving these innocent children in limbo somewhere unprotected so#WhiteSupremacists can sexually assault them & cover it upThanks.

Is it contingent or is it just something that will also happen? They can still choose only to detain them for the limited Flores time period right?
