From the AP fact check...
“ The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under certain limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk or when the parent had a serious criminal history.
And that's exactly what the Trump administration, or more specifically Border patrol agents, did.
But family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” enforcement policy, which he eventually suspended because of the uproar. Obama had no such policy.“
That's not true. That's deceptive wording, Border Agents interviewed have repeatedly said they only separated families if they saw evidence they were not family, and/or the child appeared afraid or threatened by the male parent they were with. And the media photos were not taken while Trump was president, but
while Obamam was president. This policy was in effect during Obama's presidency in 2014. The only difference under Trump is the commitment to secure the border, and the numbers apprehended.
But hey, and least the anti-Trump partisan liberal-media AP told
some of the truth.
