!!! Washington Post: a senior U.S. official... told The Washington Post that Border Patrol agents have been instructed to stop sending parents with children to federal courthouses for prosecution. “We’re suspending prosecutions of adults who are members of family units"
Meanwhile, DOJ is saying Zero Tolerance is still in place.

(Here's what @joshtpm reports re Gene Hamilton, who is speaking for DOJ: "As he’s described to me, if Jeff Sessions is too liberal or progressive on race for you, your guy is Gene Hamilton.)

Chaos & infighting.
Washington Post corrects the story quoted upthread, says
- CBP won't send families to courthouses for possible prosecution
- but DOJ will keep Zero-Tolerance prosecuting everyone it gets

also still no apparent plan to reunite families

As suspected, now confirmed: Federal agencies are at war with each other and there's no plan
