      What is the actual, immediate effect of today's EO? "[I]t was not immediately clear what effect the order would have on new migrant families crossing the border — and a federal official said no changes are planned for those families already separated."https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-children-immigration-no-changes-planned?utm_term=.nmmMG97Lp#.orG4pE5Xo …

      JUST IN: An HHS spokesperson says that another HHS spokesperson—who said no changes were planned regarding already separated children—"misspoke earlier regarding the Executive Order signed today by the President." https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/trump-children-immigration-no-changes-planned?bfsplash&utm_term=.isQJlm9Ng#.jprxJaElR …pic.twitter.com/oAhRxCC95H

          Note that the new statement doesn't actually say there are any changes at this time. It only says, "It is still very early and we are awaiting further guidance on the matter."

          Note that the term "UACs" in the new HHS statement is their shorthand for "unaccompanied alien children" — or the minors who have been the central focus of the family separation crisis.

          Weird that a quickly implemented executive order has left the implementing agencies unclear of what to do next. We've never seen that before from this admin—oh, wait, we have.

          Why would anyone believe a statement about immigrants from an administration spokesperson? There hasn't been a government avalanche of truth on recent events.

          What is the "Flores Settlement?" It's the thing that would prevent DHS from holding families with kids indefinitely in detention.

          Good to hear families will be able to stay together. Hard to do with parents arrested from crimes, but glad we've found a solution.
