President Donald Trump says he will be signing an executive order addressing family separation today

President Donald Trump says he will be signing an executive order addressing family separation today.

The president did not say what the document he'd be signing entails as he spoke to reporters in the Cabinet room. 

'I'm going to be signing an executive order in a little while before I go to Minnesota but, at the same time,' Trump said, 'I think you have to understand, we're keeping families together, but we have to keep our borders strong. We will be overrun with crime and with people that should not be in our country.' 

His Department of Homeland Security secretary was said to be drafting an order to end the child separation policy that's become a political albatross for the Trump administration.
