Can you help me find an article where it states clearly that Trump is taking the children hostage until he can get his wall?

1 Answer

Answer :

Interestingly enough, while researching this I came across a video of him telling reporters that it could not be changed by executive order. As soon as this video finished another popped up showing him doing exactly that, signing an executive order halting the separations. Oopsie, wrong again evidently. Washington Post Sorry, the link won’t work for me. If it won’t work for you, then google the article byline: “Trump cites as a negotiating tool his policy of separating immigrant children from their parents” and that will bring it up. Watch the video and then the one that pops up after it.
