Trump goes off on Democrats for sharing photos of immigrant kids detained under Obama

President Trump slammed Democrats on Tuesday after years-old photos circulated over the weekend showing immigrant children in a holding facility near the U.S.-Mexico border.

Democrats and journalists shared the photos, published by The Arizona Republic in 2014, amid reports that Trump administration had lost 1,500 immigrant children while they were in U.S. custody.

Many of the social media posts spreading the photos did not clarify that the photos were from 2014, when Barack Obama was president. The photos showed children sleeping in fenced-in cages.

“Democrats mistakenly tweet 2014 pictures from Obama’s term showing children from the Border in steel cages,” Trump wrote Tuesday. “They thought it was recent pictures in order to make us look bad, but backfires. Dems must agree to Wall and new Border Protection for good of country...Bipartisan Bill!”

Its happening because they are breaking our laws.

If he wasn't separating the kids out then they'd report he's putting them in adult prisons putting them at risk.
