The Associated Press fact-checked Michelle Obama's Democratic National Convention speech after she condemned Trump for using "cages" to house migrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border while failing to note that the same facilities were used during her husband's administration.
“Michelle Obama assailed President Donald Trump on Monday for ripping migrant children from their parents and throwing them into cages, picking up on a frequent and distorted point made widely by Democrats,” the AP reported.
“But what she did not say is that the very same ‘cages’ were built and used in her husband’s administration, for the same purpose of holding migrant kids temporarily.”
The AP then noted that photos famously circulated by Democrats “at the height of the controversy over Trump’s zero-tolerance policy at the border” were famously taken “in 2014 and depicted some of the thousands of unaccompanied children held by President Barack Obama.”

It's not a lie -- it's an omission of the fact that the structures were used before.
But what we have learned is that this President purposely separated parents and children as a deterrent -- that is not the same policy as OBama....and heartless and cruel.

Thankfully Trump didn't have the "same policy as Obama", since Obama gave the kids to traffickers.

Only a novice to politics might not know that !!!
Gen Kelly who was Chief of staff stated to the press that the NEW policy of separating families while the asylum process gets sorted out was meant as a DETERRENT. Obama's policy in the other hand separated children from adults who could not be identified as a legal guardian.
