Former ICE Director Tom Homan vs. Rep. Jayapal: "Cages" Were Built During Obama Administration

Sep-2019: House Judiciary Committee hearing on immigrant detention facilities, former ICE director Tom Homan clashed with Rep. Pramila Jayapal about the infamous "children in cages."

"You are quick to point out the 'cages' that were built under the Obama administration. I was there. Family detention. We had 100 family beds under the Obama administration and we built 3,000 more," Homan said. "When there was a surge in FY 2014 and 2015, Congress was quick to give all the money we needed to build detention facilities, the transportation contracts. We reprogrammed money out of the majority of the years he was president. that was fine."
