WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said he would be signing an executive order later Wednesday that would end the process of separating children from families after they are detained crossing the U.S. border illegally. “We want to keep families together. It’s very important,” Trump told reporters during a White House meeting with members of Congress. “I’ll be signing something in a little while that’s going to do that.” The effort would mark a dramatic turnaround for an administration that has been insisting, wrongly, that it has no choice but to separate families apprehended at the border because of the law and a court decision. Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the president and other officials have repeatedly said the only way to end the practice is for Congress to pass new legislation, though both Democrats and some Republicans have said the president could reverse it by himself.

By Perry Green, AFRO Sports Editor, [email protected] A Philadelphia Eagles fan was seen kneeling during the national anthem at the same White House celebration that President Donald Trump rescinded the Eagles’ invitation to. The fan who took a knee was captured on video by Swedish writer Carina Bergfeldt. “While @realDonaldTrump was having his party for himself after the #Eagles didn’t want to go to see him, one of the fans who was invited to the White House took a knee during the National Anthem in front of Trump,” tweeted independent NFL reporter Dov Kleiman. “Looks like trying to portray the #Eagles as enemies of the United States has backfired on Donald Trump in front of Eagles fans.
