Family Research Council President Tony Perkins issued a statement commending the president for signing the executive order stopping family separations.

In a statement released Wednesday, Perkins spoke of assembling a group of evangelical leaders and meeting with the administration about the issue in advance of the executive order being released.

"Attorney General Sessions shared our concerns and pledged to work toward a solution that would be just, fair and enforceable," said Perkins.

"President Trump issued an executive order today that will compassionately keep families together while also upholding the rule of law."

Perkins added that the executive order "should not lessen the pressure for Congress to come together to overhaul our immigration system and secure our borders."
