6. Trump immigration reversal followed pressure from Melania, Ivanka and GOP lawmakers

Aug 2018
WASHINGTON — For President Donald Trump, cracking down on illegal immigration is good politics, but separating families in the process is not.

Trump signed a slapped-together executive order after days of protests from across the political spectrum, including Republican lawmakers who expressed concerns about their re-election prospects, according to current and former administration officials.

Pressure also came from within his own family. Ivanka Trump had been working with top GOP lawmakers — including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and Sen. Susan Collins of Maine — to find a way out, said a White House official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive discussions within the first family.
