After mounting public pressure, President Trump signed an executive order last week to halt the practice of separating parents from children at facilities along the U.S.-Mexico border.

Before he signed the order, the President seemed eager for legislators to come up with meaningful immigration reform legislation. But in the days since, he has both encouraged and discouraged immigration reform via Twitter.

MPR News host Stephanie Curtis checked in with the Political Junkie, Ken Rudin, on the impact of the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy on politics in Washington and on the upcoming midterm elections across the country.
