Sunday, liberal Twitter users including prominent far-left figures such as Linda Sarsour, hack writer Jon Favreau, and journalists such as CNN’s Hadas Gold set off on an outrage campaign over a photo of two illegal immigrant children sleeping in a cage at an ICE detention center… there’s only one problem…

Shaun King wasted no time in militarizing the Obama-era photo against the Trump administration, tweeting “I saw this photo floating around and didn’t know if it was real. It is. Children of immigrants are being held in cages, like dogs, at ICE detention centers, sleeping on the floor. It’s an abomination.”
I saw this photo floating around and didn’t know if it was real.
It is.
Children of immigrants are being held in cages, like dogs, at ICE detention centers, sleeping on the floor. It’s an abomination.

The US Govt is holding migrant children in small cages like they are animals–just as 45 describes them.
This is horrific. This is inhumane. This cannot stand. #ThisIsAmerica https://t.co/JEty91DHvq
