( @JackBeattyNPR ) From The Reading List: New York Times: Trump Retreats on Separating Families, but Thousands May Remain Apart President Trump caved to enormous political pressure on Wednesday and signed an executive order meant to end the separation of families at the border by detaining parents and children together for an indefinite period.
