Media fumed over Trump’s detention of illegal immigrants, now issue has boomeranged on Biden – By Ben Whedon (Just the News) / Sept 20. 2023
Under congressional mandate, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General has conducted unannounced visits to CBP holding facilities across the country. It turns out that Biden’s treatment of immigrants looks a lot like the same treatment that Democrats and the media howled about during the Trump era.
Former President Donald Trump attracted intense media scrutiny and criticism over the detention of illegal immigrants. But now the issue has boomeranged on the Biden administration and his party, which is being cited by government watchdogs for poor conditions at Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities during the surge at the southern border.
More than six million immigrants have illegally entered the United States during Joe Biden’s presidency. The influx appears to have placed considerable strain on facilities intended to accommodate fresh arrivals. Federal agencies are seemingly unable to provide adequate service in the face of the sheer volume.
Under congressional mandate, the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Inspector General (IG) has conducted unannounced visits to CBP holding facilities across the country, many of which have fallen well shy of agency standards.
