House Republicans’ unofficial clubhouse in the basement of the Capitol smelled like Chick-fil-A and fear. As debate raged about the President Donald Trump’s family separation policy Tuesday night, House Speaker Paul Ryan welcomed his colleagues to the wood-paneled room to hear from the President directly. The outgoing Speaker outlined a proposal, which his team sketched out with the White House, that meets each of Trump’s demands for an immigration bill, and would bring to an end the politically toxic practice of separating children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexican border. The President nodded along and moved to the podium.
