WASHINGTON _ The Republican House compromise bill on immigration would end the family separation issue at the border _ but Democrats won't support it.
The bill mandates that the Department of Homeland Security hold any adult only charged with a misdemeanor who crossed the border with a child under age 18 with their child, at specific family detainment facilities.
It would apply to all past and future cases of family detention, so children already separated from their parents could be reunited. It would also approve funding for family detention centers.
