She wanted to see everything for herself, Trump's spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told reporters travelling with her. Following public outcry and criticism from members of his own party, U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Wednesday to stop the separation of migrant children from their families, a practice the administration employed to deter illegal immigration at the border.
