Two separate courts are limiting what #DonaldTrump can and cannot do via executive fiat when it comes to the immigration problem at the border.
All this shows the folly of the Trump administration’s attempts to upend immigration policy. Mr Sessions may continue to use his prosecutorial discretion to file criminal charges against illegal immigrants. But he can no longer separate families or hold them in detention together for longer than 20 days. Executive fiat has been slapped down by the courts.
