All eyes were on President Trump Wednesday after he announced he would sign an executive order ending family separations at the border

So it's unfortunate that, as onlookers were quick to note, the first version of the executive order spelled the word "separation" wrong.

"Affording Congress an Opportunity to Address Family Seperation," the first swing at the title of the Executive Order read. The URL also contained the typo.

"And the word 'Separation' is misspelled in the title of the executive order, because, of course it is," NBC News producer Frank Thorp V tweeted.

Within a few minutes, the executive order was pulled down and a new, error-free version posted.

The order does not unilaterally end the separation of migrant children from their parents, nor would it necessarily keep the children from being incarcerated.

Instead, it instructs Attorney General Jeff Sessions to modify a settlement agreement in a case called Flores v. Sessions to "permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings."
