Minnesota AG Lori Swanson joins 16 states suing over family separation

Minnesota Attorney General Lori Swanson joined 16 other Democratic state attorneys general Tuesday in suing President Donald Trump's administration to force the federal government to quickly reunify migrant families.

Immigration officials separated about 2,300 children from their parents at the U.S. border with Mexico under Trump's "zero tolerance" policy. The president signed an executive order last week ending the practice, but the attorneys general argued the order is insufficient.
