Trump Just Said His Concentration Camps Are Not Nearly As Bad As Obama’s Were
Donald Trump, after signing an executive order Tuesday to form a White House council to nix regulations that make housing more costly, said he’s “very concerned” about the living conditions for migrants coming across the border.
Trump claimed the conditions under former President Obama were worse.
As CBS News has reported, many migrant children have been returned to a facility deemed “inhumane” in Texas. Trump also claimed he knows nothing about the seemingly sudden departure of Customs and Border Protection acting director John Sanders stepping down. Trump claims he doesn’t know Sanders.
It’s not yet clear who will serve on the new working group, or what regulations they’ll be considering. A senior administration official said they’ll be looking at regulations within the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Department of Interior, Department of Agriculture, Department of Labor, Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, and the Environmental Protection Agency.
