While President Trump says he is ending the policy of separating children from their parents at the border, “This order… proposes to end separating children from parents by incarcerating both together in detention facilities indefinitely. It continues the “zero tolerance policy” of locking up and charging all immigrants who cross into the US without going through a port of entry. It instructs the Defense Department to begin building detention camps to incarcerate immigrant families. Justice Department lawyers are expected to challenge a previous court ruling that established basic minimal humanitarian guarantees for immigrant children, meaning they want to be able to hold immigrant kids in detention in conditions that violate this standard.”  from Curtis Johnson’s June 25 article in Truthout, The Momentum of Trumpian Fascism Is Building: Stopping It Is Up to Us.

The order also instructs federal agencies — especially the Defense Department — to begin to prepare facilities that could house the potentially thousands of families that will now be detained by the government.  CNN   Fort Ord?
