3. Secret shutdown

While debate over the president's zero-tolerance border policy has been making the most noise in the last few weeks, there's another immigration policy that the administration quietly ended. It also affects thousands of children. And now the Trump administration is being sued over it.

ABC News' Conor Finnegan says it involves a program started during the Obama administration in response to thousands of unaccompanied minors coming over the border from Central America.
