Original Note:
The claim that there were 2,600 "children in cages" under Trump vs 12,000 today was originally made by conservative commentator Brandon Tatum in 2021 and is misleading: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/politifact/2021/04/12/fact-check-more-children-held-border-president-biden-than-trump/7189022002/ The 85k 'disappeared' claim is misrepresentation of NYT reporting, fact checked here: https://www.newsweek.com/under-joe-biden-undocumented-children-missing-1812728
