Summary

It’s been a few weeks since Donald Trump signed an executive order reversing his diabolical decision to separate children and parents at the border, but the story is far from over. Jacob Soboroff, correspondent for NBC News and MSNBC, who helped break the child separation story open, joins Nick to explain what will happen to the hundred of children who have still not been reunited with their parents, why Trump officials regret giving in to pressures from the left and the right to stop their policy, and what the administration is planning next that could be much, much worse.

0:00.0	Welcome to Inside the Hive. I am your host Nick Bilton. So my guest today is
0:06.5	Jacob Soberoff and that's a name I'm sure you've heard in the past few months
