"Yet, the practice of incarcerating children in immigrant detention goes back further. Former President Barack Obama, who has been conspicuously silent during the child separation crisis, made family incarceration the mainstay of his response to mass displacement from Central America. Family detention has been condemned by the U.S. government’s own Commission on Civil Rights, as well as Satsuki Ina, a survivor of a Japanese-American internment camp, who compared the practice to her own experience. Since at least 2015, mothers incarcerated with their children have staged protests and hunger strikes within immigrant prisons—and testified to the horrific conditions they have faced."
Note: Obama continued the practice until it was halted by Flores v. Lynch, 828 F.3d 898 (9th Cir. 2016).

The Trumpists keep saying "Obama did exactly the same" and in my readings I see that it was very different indeed.
