AP report on alleged illegal immigrant abuse at detention centers omits Obama was president at time

Published June 21, 2018 3:42pm ET



An Associated Press report on Thursday detailed a lawsuit wherein a juvenile detention center for illegal immigrants was accused of neglect and abuse of its detainees. The AP report initially neglected to note, however, that the alleged abuse began while President Barack Obama was in office.

The original story said multiple teens have accused Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center near Staunton, Va., of forcing them to be “handcuffed and locked up for long periods in solitary confinement, left nude and shivering in concrete cells.”
