The national outrage against the Trump administration s separation and detention of migrant families at the southern U.S. border has not let up in recent weeks.

President Donald Trump s zero tolerance policy which refers all unauthorized migrants crossing the border for criminal prosecution has led to officials separating more than 2,000 children from their parents. In an executive order last week, he halted family separations at the border, opting instead for locking up immigrant parents and kids together indefinitely .

In trying to justify the harsh immigration crackdown, Trump and top members of his administration have repeatedly lied or made unsupported claims about undocumented immigrants, U.S. immigration policy and what is happening at the border.

Heres a fact-check on some of the misleading statements and outright lies that Trump and his officials have spread about immigration and the zero tolerance policy.
