	Description:		As President Donald Trump's executive order -- effectively halting the separation of migrant families at the southern border of the United States -- takes effect, the focus now, inevitably, shifts to the whereabouts and the well-being of the children who have already been taken from their parents. The physical and mental health of both the children and parents of torn-apart families continues to be an immense issue, as well as the general timeline of a child's separation -- how long will the children be apart from the rest of their family; and, how can the parents, now, get into contact with their children? Attorney General Jeff Sessions has, since the President's EO has passed, contradicted himself, once again, by saying that he and the Trump Administration "never really intended" to separate families. However, just last week, Sessions both admitted that the separation of families at the border was to be put in place to act as a "tough deterrent" for immigrants and even cited the bible to defend the enforcement of that specific policy. Morning Joe also remembers, this Friday morning, legendary conservative columnist and pundit, Charles Krauthammer, who passed away yesterday at the age of 68.
