I've been representing mothers and children in immigration family detention (aka babyjail) for years, and the EO is a trick. Yes, it's better that the government isn't kidnapping children and deporting their parents, but their position is now that keeping families together means keeping them together in prison while their asylum cases are pending. And immigration family detention facilities are mother-child only, so the government is continuing to rip apart fathers from their children, aunts from their nieces and nephews, and grandparents from their grandchildren (even if said adult is the child's caretaker). They've been doing this for years, since Obama restarted family detention with the Artesia prison in 2014.
