The photo was taken in 2014, when Biden was serving as vice president

Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, took aim at a Republican-backed immigration measure on Thursday, using a photo captured during President Biden's tenure as vice president that showed unaccompanied minors in cages to argue that the bill was "extreme and wrong."
The image — increased in size and placed on a poster alongside Garcia as she spoke from the House floor in opposition to the Secure the Border Act of 2023 — was originally captured as early as 2014, according to an article from The Columbus Dispatch.
The June 2014 article, which was written during former President Barack Obama's tenure in the White House, used the image showing immigrant children being held in cages with foil blankets in an effort to highlight the "stations' crowded conditions."
Garcia's poster that featured the image included the statement: "House Republicans' child deportation act is extreme and wrong."
