Bipartisan call to halt family separations

• Republican lawmakers, Laura Bush, the conservative tabloid The New York Post and a onetime adviser to President Trump have joined Democrats in condemning the administration’s practice of separating children from their parents when apprehended at the border.

Nearly 2,000 children were removed from their parents in a six-week period. The administration, which announced a “zero tolerance” approach this spring, has argued that it was just enforcing the law, a false assertion that Mr. Trump has made repeatedly.

The House is set to vote this week on two immigration bills, a hard-line measure that is expected to fail, and a compromise version crafted by the House Republican leadership.

• “I can’t go without my son.” We spoke to a mother who was deported to Guatemala before recovering her child. Lawyers say her case is the latest indication that the administration’s enforcement strategy was rolled out without adequate planning.
