Trump says migrant detention conditions 'better than they were under Obama'


BY JORDAN FABIAN AND SAAGAR ENJETI - 06/25/19 01:14 PM EDT

President Trump on Monday declared migrant detention facilities are better than they were under former President Obama, despite numerous reports describing worsening conditions in centers along the southern border and elsewhere.

“No, the conditions are much better than they were under President Obama,” Trump said during an exclusive interview with The Hill.

Trump said the Obama administration built many of the facilities where migrants from Central America are behind held and incorrectly claimed that his predecessor created the policy of separating child migrants from their parents or adult guardians.

“When I came in, I took over Obama’s policy. It was a policy of separation. I’m the one that put them together,” he said.

United Nations Human Rights Council. I read the criteria for submitting and they seem to meet it. Trump needs to be shamed in neon lights for the world to see.
