In an interview with NPR, Congressman Goodlatte essentially backed the Trump administration’s position that only Congress can end the cruel policy of separating children from their parents at the border with Mexico.

Goodlatte agrees with Trump’s false assertion that the law requires that children be separated from their parents. But even other Congressional Republicans, including Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, say that Trump could end this practice with a phone call to the Department of Homeland Security.
