Notes

* 47 kids taken away from their parents last month. 67 per day this month.

* This is unprecedented Trump-owned federal policy.

* Senator Collins says, "...the two previous administrations have rejected this approach."

* While reporters sat in the White House briefing room all the reporting received a ProPublica link to footage. the
traffic crashed Propublica. The reporters received direct links to the audio. The Sanders press briefing was called off.

* There was the Muslim ban. Now the Trump-only federal policy of separating young children

Several GOP lawmakers push Trump to stop the widely condemned separation of immigrant families

* Several Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to end his administration's policy of separating children from parents at U.S. borders.

* Trump is putting the burden on Congress to end the policy, even though he could do so himself.

* The president appears to be using the separation of families as leverage to push legislative changes to immigration laws.
