The Obama administration separated migrant children from families under limited circumstances, like when the child’s safety appeared at risk. Family separations as a matter of routine came about because of Trump’s “zero tolerance” policy.
WASHINGTON — Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats.
MICHELLE OBAMA, on Americans: “They watch in horror as children are torn from their families and thrown into cages." At the height of the controversy over Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border, photos that circulated online of children in the enclosures generated great anger. But those photos — by The Associated Press — were taken in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack Obama.
