Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. In April 2018, the Trump administration announced and enacted a 'zero tolerance' immigration policy, whereby every adult illegally crossing the border would be criminally prosecuted. This resulted in family separations, as the migrant adults were put in criminal detention for prosecution, while the migrant children were taken away as unaccompanied alien minors. The children would be brought to immigration detention, immigrant shelters, or tent camps, with the aim of releasing them to relatives or sponsors. Administration officials described the policy as a deterrent against illegal immigration. Previous administrations had no such policy of generally separating migrant families with children.
