In Tense Meeting, Trump Officials Debate How to Process Migrant Families

Members of Congress and staff leave the U.S. Capitol after votes, in Washington, June 22, 2018. President Donald Trump appeared to give up hope on Friday that the Republican-controlled Congress could succeed in passing an immigration bill this year, urging lawmakers in a Twitter post to stop “wasting their time.” He said a vote on immigration legislation should be postponed until after the midterm elections in November, when he expects Republicans to pick up more seats and create a stronger majority.
