Donald Trump refuses to rule out new migrant family separations, but allies are wary

Donald Trump vows to intensify crackdown on immigration if reelected and considers resuming family separations at the US-Mexico border. Former Trump officials and conservative allies express concerns about implementing the 2018 "zero tolerance" policy again due to the public backlash it caused. Trump's hardline stance on immigration is a major theme of his campaign for the 2024 presidential nomination. Civil rights activists are ready to fight any new version of the family separation policy in court. Biden's campaign highlights Trump's separation policy as an example of his extreme policies.
