Why were families being separated at the southern US border?

Donald Trump has signed an executive order ending the separation of children and parents who cross the southern US border illegally.  The children were detained while their parents faced legal proceedings. While they waited for their parents to be released, the children were put into inhospitable detention centres furnished with metal cages and concrete floors. Audio recordings released by a charity reveal the distress many children were, and are, experiencing in the centres
