Fact Check: MSNBC Falsely Claims Obama Did Not Separate Migrant Kids from Adults at Southern Border:

CLAIM: MSNBC reporter Jacob Soboroff claimed on Monday that former President Barack Obama’s administration “didn’t” separate migrant children from the adults they arrived with at the United States-Mexico border..

VERDICT: False. Former President Donald Trump’s administration was not the only White House to separate migrant children from the adults they arrived with at the southern border — though it was certainly the most publicized.

During an interview with Donald Trump Jr. at the Republican National Convention (RNC), Soboroff asked, “Will we continue to see policies like separating 5,000 children deliberately from their parents?”

In response, Trump Jr. pointed to the Obama administration’s policy that similarly separated migrant children from adults at the border.

“You know they didn’t do that, sir,” Soboroff said.

Soboroff’s claim that the Obama administration did not separate migrant children from adults at the border has been disproven by multiple fact-checkers, including CNN and the Associated Press (AP).

“Under past administrations, some border-crossers were occasionally criminally prosecuted, and were thus separated from their families,” a CNN fact check stated. “Separations did sometimes occur under Obama, but they were non-routine and much less frequent, according to immigration experts and former Obama officials.”

Likewise, when First Lady Michelle Obama suggested that “children are torn from their families and thrown into cages” under Trump’s policies, AP fact checkers corrected her claims by noting that the so-called “cages” — which are actually migrant holding facilities — were built by the Obama administration. —>READ MORE HERE

Barack’s ICE chief: Cages were Obama’s idea:

Former President Barack Obama’s top immigration chief in charge of removing illegal immigrants said that the “cages” Democrats have accused President Trump of housing children in were the brainchild of the Obama administration.

“I’ve been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under (Homeland Security) Secretary Jeh Johnson. I was there because I was there when it was built,” said Thomas Homan, who was Obama’s executive associate director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement for nearly four years.

At an immigration conference today, Homan, under consideration for a new position of “border czar” in the Trump administration, grew visibly angry answering a question about “cages” often cited by Democratic critics of the president.

Homan, who ran Obama’s successful deportation operation, ripped Democrats who question Trump immigration officials on the Obama-era idea.

He cited one Democratic chairman who asked a Trump official, “You still keeping kids in cages?”

Homan, at the conference hosted by the Center for Immigration Studies, said, “I would answer the question, ‘The kids are being house in the same facility built under the Obama administration.’ If you want to call them cages, call them cages. But if the left wants to call them cages and the Democrats want to call them cages then they have to accept the fact that they were built and funded in FY 2015.” —>READ MORE HERE
