The Trump administration is taking its first steps to begin reuniting more than two thousand undocumented migrant children and parents separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.<br /> President Trump said Thursday that he had directed the departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to work on bringing together the separated families. <br /> It's a first step to implementing his policy-reversing executive order which states that migrant families entering the U.S. should be detained together. <br />The order still faces possible legal challenges and administration lawyers have filed a request to modify a previous court settlement that limits the government's detention of minors to 20 days.<br />However, Trump still insisted tougher immigration laws were needed and blamed the Democrats for creating what he called loopholes in the current system. <br />
