1. The Trump administration is being battered by a wave of bipartisan criticism and an international outcry over its immigration practices.

In just one six-week period, some 2,000 children were separated from their families, according to the Department of Homeland Security. Thousands are being held in makeshift shelters. The U.N. human rights chief called the policy “government-sanctioned child abuse.”

The investigative website ProPublica posted this audio clip of some of the separations. (News photographers have not been allowed inside the shelters, and The New York Times is declining to publish government handout photos.)
