The president didn’t like the optics, he said, so he signed an executive order. Smoke and mirrors? We’ll take a much closer look at the presidential directive to end family separations and explore what its does and likely does not do. And: The impact of family separation on kids, and how this major story in the U.S. is playing in papers south of the border.
