First lady Melania Trump made a surprise visit Thursday to a shelter for illegal immigrant children in Texas amid the furor over President Trump’s rescinded family separation policy, expressing her desire to see the children reunited with their parents “as quickly as possible.”
Mrs. Trump traveled to the facility in McAllen, Texas, to thank law enforcement officials and social service providers for their work during the burgeoning crisis and to put a compassionate face on a political dilemma for her husband’s administration.
“They are scared without their families,” Mrs. Trump said of the migrant children. “I want to thank you for your hard work, your compassion and your kindness you’re giving them in this difficult time. I’d also like to ask you how I can help to — these children, to reunite with their families, as quickly as possible.”
While she was visiting, the Justice Department asked a federal judge to rewrite the court agreement that Republicans say created the catch-and-release policy leading to the family separation crisis at the border.

Dear Gov. Hogan, You missed a wonderful opportunity having the MD Guard there as part of the humanitarian effort helping and making a horrible situation better. You are obviously part of the problem,and not interested in positive solutions.
God bless the First Lady and Pres. Trump
I love it that she wore a coat with the same sentiment of most intelligent Americans, I also don't care!
Quite a Lady!
Hogan, you've lost our Family votes!!!
Hey, Hogan. I'm with 4:22 here. Why are you killing off your voter base?
