The "zero-tolerance" border security policy implemented by President Donald Trump's administration has sparked outrage on both sides of the political aisle and took on particular resonance as America celebrated Father's Day.
Democratic and Republican lawmakers upped the ante on the thorny issue of the separation of migrant children from their parents at the US border, as First Lady Melania Trump made a rare political plea to end the deeply controversial practice.
The US president's son, Donald Trump Jr, shared pictures of his children and tweeted that he had an awesome father's day. He even wished his father and said that Trump senior is the 'best potus and dad'. Trump has said he wants the separations to end, but continues to blame opposition Democrats for the crisis, which critics say is one of his own making. His wife, who does not often wade into the political arena, did not denounce his administration's policy, but instead called for bipartisan immigration reform to fix the issue.
