BORDER/CHILDREN/IMMIGRATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “President Donald Trump was insistent on Monday [6-25-18] he doesn’t regret signing an executive order meant to keep migrant families together, even as the measure from last week continues to sow confusion and internal angst. Meanwhile, his administration continued to maintain there was little they could do to appease the border crisis — including carrying out Trump’s own wishes to strip migrants of their due process rights. The statements only furthered the notion of a White House at odds over how to end the humanitarian disaster while not appearing to soften a hardline immigration stance. Trump was speaking in the Oval Office ahead of a meeting with Jordan’s king. His remarks came after a weekend of defiant tweeting, including Trump’s suggestion that undocumented immigrants not be afforded due process in their deportation proceedings.”
