Washington — President Donald Trump visited House Republicans Tuesday on Capitol Hill amid calls for the administration to end a “zero tolerance” immigration policy that has led to the forced separation of children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border.
“These are laws that have been broken for many years, decades,” Trump told reporters afterward. “We had a great meeting.” Trump’s gathering with the Gop conference to talk about immigration was planned before outrage over the policy grew and the news media gave greater attention to the impact on children and families being held in detention centers.
Republicans like Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Jeb Bush condemned the action and called for the administration to end it. Tech CEOs criticized the policy, while industry figures like Judd Apatow, Paul Feig and Steve Levitan turned their attention to the way that Fox News has covered the issue.
