Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump blamed Democrats for immigration laws that force federal immigration agents to break up families during a roundtable to discuss California sanctuary state policies.
"I know what you're going through right now with families is very tough. But those are the bad laws the Democrats gave us," Trump said during the meeting with California officials.
Earlier in May, CNN reported on a new Department of Homeland Security policy that would potentially result in the separation of families at the border.
