| HOW TRUMP IS HANDLING THE FAMILY SEPARATION CRISIS | |
BREAKING -- Forget having to kiss babies on the campaign trail. You just need to support keeping them with their families these days: |
| 
Via The Hill's Jordan Fabian, President Trump says he will sign "something" to end his administration's controversial practice of separating children from their parents when illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump just told reporters: "I'll be signing something in a little while that's going to do that. I'll be doing something that's somewhat preemptive and ultimately will be matched by legislation I'm sure." http://bit.ly/2JT1Qmj |
| |
| SOME CLUES TO WHAT TRUMP WOULD SIGN -- AN EXECUTIVE ACTION?: |
| Late this morning, The Associated Press's Jill Colvin and Colleen Long reported that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is drafting an executive action that would keep families together on the U.S.-Mexico border. Nielsen was then spotted at the White House. http://bit.ly/2ytQO1w |
| |
| EARLIER THIS MORNING -- TRUMP GOT THE BALL ROLLING ON CAPITOL HILL: |
| Trump said would support a standalone bill ending the controversial policy of separating children from their parents on the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump's first choice: The president would prefer a bill that would include border wall funding, but now would support measures to end the separation policy. http://bit.ly/2M7wKE9 |
| |
| LAST NIGHT AT TRUMP HOTEL: |
| A liberal super PAC blared audio of separated children through a loud speaker at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C. Also last night: There was a Republican fundraiser at the hotel. Spotted: Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer and Donald Trump Jr. President Trump was also reportedly at the hotel yesterday evening. http://bit.ly/2Kc7zmB |
| |
| THIS A.M. -- TRUMP BLAMES DEMOCRATS: |
| President Trump accused Democrats of trying to "obstruct" immigration policies. He tweeted: "The Fake News is not mentioning the safety and security of our Country when talking about illegal immigration. Our immigration laws are the weakest and worst anywhere in the world, and the Dems will do anything not to change them & to obstruct-want open borders which means crime!" http://bit.ly/2t8ssFp |

Let's bring it to a vote: |
| House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) just announced that the House will vote tomorrow to end family separation. Ryan told reporters: "We do not want children taken away from their parents. We can enforce our immigration laws without breaking families apart. The administration says it wants Congress to act and we are. Tomorrow, the House will vote on legislation to keep families together." https://cbsn.ws/2ypL5d5 Which bills? The House is moving forward with two immigration bills, one a conservative immigration measure from Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) and a broader compromise bill that would allow families to remain together during immigration proceedings. Ryan's reasoning: He said leadership isn't focused on just a narrow bill to address only the separation controversy. |
| |
| IT'S STILL AN UPHILL BATTLE FOR RYAN THOUGH: |
| Via The Hill's Melania Zanona and Scott Wong, House Republican leaders are struggling to secure 218 votes for a compromise GOP immigration bill, despite a personal plea from President Trump yesterday to pass the legislation. http://bit.ly/2ysxfXd |
| |
| HAPPENING THIS MORNING -- KIDS ON THE HOUSE FLOOR: |
| Democratic lawmakers brought children to the House floor to demand an end to family separations. Photos and video: http://bit.ly/2ME1qxA |
| |
| JUST POSTPONED -- THE WHITE HOUSE'S CONGRESSIONAL PICNIC: |
| President Trump just postponed tomorrow's Congressional picnic but didn't give a date to reschedule. Trump's reasoning: "it doesn't feel right to have a picnic for Congress." http://bit.ly/2lk1xBY Some context from CNN's Rebecca Berg: "Not great for WH-Congress relations. Many members have their families in town for the picnic." http://bit.ly/2K9oxBM |

Some context from The Washington Post's Seung Min Kim, who has been covering immigration for years: |

Getting traction -- Corey said what, now?: |
| During an interview on Fox News last night, President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski caused quite the stir when he dismissed a story about a 10-year-old girl with Down syndrome who was separated from her mother at the U.S. border. Critics said his response was mocking the disabled child. Here's the clip -- see what you think: https://usm.ag/2MHB9OV |
| |
| THIS A.M. -- LEWANDOWSKI APPEARS BACK ON FOX TO CLARIFY, BUT NOT TO APOLOGIZE: |
| Corey Lewandowski clarified his controversial comment. "My comment was specifically about Zach trying to politicize the use of children as a political football in this discussion." Watch Lewandowski's reasoning: http://bit.ly/2M7t3hD |
| |
| THREE MINUTES BEFORE THE FOX HIT -- LEWANDOWSKI TWEETED (LIKELY WHILE SEATED FOR THE HIT): |
| Lewandowski tweeted, "Lots of Fake News today. I mocked a liberal who attempted to politicize children as opposed to discussing the real issue which is fixing a broken immigration system. It's offensive that the [mainstream media] doesn't want to talk about the fact these policies were started under Obama." http://bit.ly/2K0ElDz |

| LATEST FROM THE WEST WING | |
The White House loses another: |
| Joe Hagin, the White House adviser who planned President Trump's meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, is leaving the White House for the private sector. Some context: Hagin, 62, is one of the White House's most experienced aides. He held the same position in the administrations of former Presidents George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan. http://bit.ly/2tk76E4 |
| |
| IT FEELS LIKE THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF DEPARTURES, RIGHT?: |
| "More than 60 percent of people who served in the senior-most White House advisory positions at the beginning of the administration have exited their roles, according to data compiled by Martha Joynt Kumar, director of the White House Transition Project." http://bit.ly/2tk76E4 |

D.C. election results: |
| Here's a list of the election results from yesterday's primaries in Washington, D.C. The top line: It was a good night for incumbents. http://bit.ly/2K5RnQb |
| |
| RESULTS YOU'LL BE HEARING ABOUT: |
| Restaurant workers minimum wage: D.C. voters approved the controversial Initiative 77. That means tipped restaurant workers must be paid the minimum wage -- eventually $15 an hour -- by 2026. If you live in D.C., you've seen lots of signs for and against this initiative. What this means for D.C. restaurants: http://bit.ly/2ysEy0Z D.C. mayor: Incumbent Mayor Muriel Bowser has won the Democratic primary. The Republican Party doesn't have much power in Washington, so she will likely win in November. https://fxn.ws/2M8d2rI |
