2014 was when the system was overwhelmed by a huge influx of unaccompanied children looking for asylum. Trump is trying to artificially recreate that crisis by taking children away from their families and turning them into unaccompanied minors. To make their parents suffer.

Trump is using psychological torture as an immigration policy, basically.

I too am very critical of the Trump admin’s approach to separating parents and children at the border as a deterrent (see my feed). But I’m also pro-accuracy, and pics from an Obama-era detention facility do not provide evidence of something happening under Trump.
