Under the Obama administration, unaccompanied migrant children were housed at the same Army base for around four months.
The Trump administration sparked outrage on Wednesday after it came to light the federal government is planning to detain migrant children at an Army base once used as an internment camp for Japanese Americans in World War II.
In fact, just five years ago Oklahoma's Fort Sill was used as a detention facility for migrant children under President Barack Obama. The apparent differences in how many outlets and critics have portrayed the Trump administration's plans to detain children at Fort Sill compared to how the same decision under the Obama administration was presented has sparked accusations of"hypocrisy."
