In an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Sen. JD Vance didn’t give a direct answer about whether Trump’s policy proposals for the border would lead to family separation.

Ohio Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, on Saturday evaded multiple questions about whether Trump’s proposed “zero tolerance” policy on immigration would lead to family separation.

    From the article, attempts to improve things are blocked:

    When President Joe Biden and Harris first took office, Biden rescinded the Trump-era zero-tolerance policy and established a family reunification task force that found that more than 5,000 families were separated under the policy.

    More recently, the Biden administration worked with a bipartisan group of senators to craft a comprehensive immigration and border security plan that seemed to have buy-in from both parties on Capitol Hill.

    But GOP support for the bill tanked after Trump indicated his disapproval of the plan.
