    That’s a lot of links. Which one is about Obama directing ICE to steal children from families instead of incarcerating them together in family detention or deporting them together?

    I said they dial it back to shitty levels which are not as bad as masked plainclothes agents in unmarked cars kidnapping people on the street or stealing children while families are detained.

      Obama had a nickname. “Deporter in Chief”.

      Obama did the things you described. The excuse is that Obama did not do it “systematically”. But he did it a few times and got away with it. Thus setting a precedent for Trump to do the same thing a lot of times.

      Do you even remember that Obama built the cages?

      Obama builds a concentration camp and then people act surprised that a Republican comes in and uses it as a concentration camp? The selective outrage here is astounding.
