Confusion at the border after Trump immigration move
Confusion and uncertainty marked a shock move by President Trump to stop family separations with no clear plan to reunite more than 2,300 children. Officials floated housing up to 20,000 migrants on military bases while court actions and prosecutions shifted, drawing mixed accounts about beds for children or families. Federal prosecutors in McAllen did not pursue charges against 17 immigrants as the Pentagon agreed to temporary space on bases to detain up to 20,000 people.
