So why did he wait so long to sign this EO?

He could’ve saved his administration and the GOP the bad optics over the last week had he done this earlier...

This is why:

quote:

---

(e) The Attorney General shall promptly file a request with the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California to modify the Settlement Agreement in Flores v. Sessions, CV 85-4544 (“Flores settlement”), in a manner that would permit the Secretary, under present resource constraints, to detain alien families together throughout the pendency of criminal proceedings for improper entry or any removal or other immigration proceedings.

Democrats are now on record as opposing this settlement. Their opposition to fixing it will now make them look like hypocrites. This is going to get turned around on them in a big way. They are very publicly against the policy that only allows a 20 day detention of minor children.
