DHS/IMMIGRATION/MELANIA: “First lady Melania Trump will again pay a visit to immigration facilities in coming days, her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham confirmed to CNN…It is not known where exactly Trump plans to go but it is likely the first lady will see first-hand an immigration processing detention center as had been part of her plan in McAllen, Texas, last Thursday [6-21-18], before flooding conditions prevented her from going…Since her husband’s administration began enforcing the ‘zero-tolerance’ immigration policy several weeks ago, more than 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border. Last Thursday, Trump spent about one hour meeting with staff and touring the Upbring New Hope Children’s Shelter in McAllen, a Department of Health and Human Services-assisted facility that houses and cares for unaccompanied minors who have entered the country illegally until they can be placed with family or volunteers.”
