Because some are accusing us of ignoring the migrant issue when it occurred during the Obama administration, a thread:
A story about the Obama White House's push to Congress to step up deportations: politico.com/story/2014/06/…
A July 2014 piece w/ @mkraju on the increasing furor from Hill Dems against Obama on how he had handled migrant issue: politico.com/story/2014/07/…
A Sept. 2014 piece with @burgessev on how Senate Dems were asking for executive action delay amid unaccompanied minors crisis: politico.com/story/2014/09/…
A June 2015 story on how the Obama administration revised its immigrant detention policy under pressure politico.com/story/2015/06/…
A Jan. 2016 story with @joshgerstein on how the Obama administration was launching raids on Central American migrant families politico.com/story/2016/01/…
And a story a few days later on Democrats' furor against Obama administration over the raids: politico.com/story/2016/01/…
(end thread.)
An addendum: Clearly, this was not an exhaustive list of articles I wrote under Obama, and it doesn’t begin to encompass the great work by other news orgs. Didn’t think this obvious point had to be noted.
