A man who says he is a woman is suing the federal government over restrictions in his job at the Transportation Security Administration that do not allow him to "pat down" female travelers.
A Western Journal report published at the Gateway Pundit explains Danielle Mittereder is suing over rules from the Department of Homeland Security establishing those limits.
That restriction followed an executive order from President Donald Trump against recognizing transgenderism claims in the federal government.
The claim being made by Mittereder is that the policy violates federal civil rights law.
According to the report on the recently filed lawsuit, Mittereder began working at the TSA in 2024 and now is stationed at Dulles International Airport in Virginia.
He claims because he is not allowed to pat down women, his job prospects are being hurt.
"Solely because she (sic) is transgender, TSA now prohibits Plaintiff from conducting core functions of her (sic) job, impedes her (sic) advancement to higher-level positions and specialized certifications, excludes her (sic) from TSA-controlled facilities, and subjects her (sic) identity to unwanted and undue scrutiny each workday," the claim explains.
The report noted that when the AP asked Homeland Security spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin about the issue, she turned the question back on the legacy news cooperative: "Does the AP want female travelers to be subjected to pat-downs by male TSA officers?"
She explained, "What a useless and fundamentally dangerous idea, to prioritize mental delusion over the comfort and safety of American travelers."
Mittereder's lawyer, Jonathan Puth, claimed the policy is "demeaning" as well as "illegal.'
A report from Fox News on the dispute said Trump's order, "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government," declared that the federal government will recognize only two sexes — male and female — defined by biological sex "at conception."

President Donald Trump closed his final Cabinet meeting of the year on Tuesday with a ferocious message to Somali immigrants including Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar of Minnesota who "complain and do nothing but bitch."
'I don't want 'em in our country, I'll be honest with you," Trump said of the immigrants who have penetrated Minnesota in large numbers.
"Somebody will say, 'Oh that's not politically correct.' I don't care. I don't want 'em in our country. Their country's no good for a reason. Their country stinks. … I could say that about other countries too."
Trump said America is on the brink of disaster if the trend continues.
"You know, our country's at a tipping point. We could go bad," he explained.
"We could go one way or the other. We're gonna go the wrong way if we keep taking in garbage to our country. Ilhan Omar is garbage. She's garbage. Her friends are garbage."
The president continued: "These aren't people that say, 'Let's go, come on let's make this place great.' These are people that do nothing but complain. And from where they came from, they got nothing.
"You know, if they came from paradise, and they said this isn't paradise, but when they come from hell, and they complain and do nothing but bitch, we don't want 'em in our country. Let 'em go back to where they came from and fix it."
As WorldNetDaily reported Tuesday, a recent City Journal investigation uncovered the fact that Minnesota state taxpayers likely are the biggest single source of funding for the Muslim terror network of al-Shabaab.
And now U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has confirmed the federal government is investigating the scandal that has developed on the watch of Democrat Gov. Tim Walz.
On Monday, both Trump and White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt went scorched earth on Walz for what some say is a surrender of the state to Somalia.
Trump himself highlighted a report by investigative journalist Amy Mekelburg of the RAIR Foundation in which she indicated: "Minnesota is being systematically transformed – its people replaced, its cities being turned into foreign enclaves, its future rewritten by mass migration and soaring immigrant birth rates, all by design."
"Minneapolis already holds the largest Somali population in the U.S. – a hub for Shariah push and radical recruitment. You can see it on display at the Somali Culture and Music Night held this weekend."
"This isn't assimilation. It's colonization," Mekelburg concluded.
Trump said sarcastically in reaction: "Welcome to Minnesota – Great job Governor Walz!"
Leavitt held a White House press briefing Monday, during which she scorched the Democrat governor, saying "Somali immigrants have been ripping off American taxpayers."
She said, "59 [Somalis] have been convicted for their roles in fraud plots that have stolen $1 billion from taxpayers."
"In one scheme, and this is egregious, a nonprofit and its affiliates with the Somali migrants claim to have fed tens of thousands of American children during the pandemic. They were reimbursed for those meals by taxpayers. However, federal prosecutors found that almost all of those meals were never even delivered to hungry children."
"In fact, those organization's leaders spent the money on houses, luxury cars and real estate in Turkey and Kenya."

President Donald Trump is set to convene a meeting at the White House Monday at 5 p.m. ET to discuss the next steps regarding Venezuela.
Key members of Trump's cabinet and national security team are expected to attend, including War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Additionally, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller will be present.
President Donald Trump indicated Thursday night that the U.S. might "very soon" start targeting alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers on land. This would expand operations that have primarily concentrated on the Caribbean Sea. Trump and Hegseth have confronted the threat directly in recent months by conducting military airstrikes against them in the Caribbean.
Does the U.S. have a moral and strategic imperative to intervene military? Breck Henderson, a retired Navy Reserve Officer and retired nuclear engineer for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, recently wrote in his Substack that "military action against the Maduro regime is not just justifiable, but imperative."
What are others saying? WorldNetDaily spoke to national security expert and retired Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, who agreed: "I support military action to curb or eliminate the expansion of communism in the Western hemisphere." For Gaub, "all such action must be taken within the bounds of the U.S. Constitution."
While he shares Trump's and Hegseth's serious concerns about drug trafficking, viewing it as major threat to the people of the United States, he also expresses a less frequently discussed concern: Venezuela is "an ideological launchpad for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other aligned nations and people who seek to attack the United States' soft underbelly," explained Gaub.
The national security expert said Venezuela has long been utilized to disseminate communist influence throughout the Western hemisphere, leveraging all of South America and Central America as a way to further undermine America's stability. "Beyond the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)," he said, "terrorist organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood and Hezbollah, who work in concert with the CCP and sympathetic organizations and people, also target the United States."
"This is why the election results in Argentina and now Chile are concerning to the CCP, Russia and Iran," he said. With potential leaders who are not sympathetic to their agenda, he added, "their foothold gets a little smaller."
Gaub also pointed out that the threats to the U.S. extend beyond communist influence and include more than just the drug cartels operating from Venezuela. "They are also the primary sources of violent criminals who were mass released from prison and escorted across our Southern border and vulnerable waterways," he explained.
To that end, drug-affiliated gangs like Venezuela's Tren de Aragua have been implicated in crimes in over a dozen states, including sex trafficking in Tennessee, ATM theft in New York, a contract killing in Florida, low-level arms dealing in Colorado and many more.
Gaub contends that various countries in South America and the Caribbean have similarly dispatched tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of criminals to the United States throughout the years.
"All of this explains why the United States is focusing so much on our own backyard and will demonstrate military and political resolve in the Eastern Pacific and the Caribbean," Gaub concluded. "It is folly to think we should focus on wars in Europe and elsewhere when our enemies are so close to our shores" – and while, he added, there are also "ideological supporters within our own government."

The president also posted video of Somalis celebrating their culture in Minnesota.
Moments earlier, Leavitt was holding a White House press briefing, during which she scorched the Democrat governor, saying "Somali immigrants have been ripping off American taxpayers."
She said, "59 [Somalis] have been convicted for their roles in fraud plots that have stolen $1 billion from taxpayers."
"In one scheme, and this is egregious, a nonprofit and its affiliates with the Somali migrants claim to have fed tens of thousands of American children during the pandemic. They were reimbursed for those meals by taxpayers. However, federal prosecutors found that almost all of those meals were never even delivered to hungry children."
"In fact, those organization's leaders spent the money on houses, luxury cars and real estate in Turkey and Kenya."
Also on Monday, a group of Minnesota state government employees said they wrote to former Vice President Kamala Harris and the Democratic National Committee on numerous occasions to sound the alarm about her running mate Walz due to "his incompetence, fraud scandals and retaliation."
"For public awareness, we did write to Kamala Harris and the DNC – multiple times – warning them about Tim Walz & his incompetence, fraud scandals and retaliation," wrote the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account, representing some 480 employees.
"We tried our best to keep the public informed as our tweets are public. Maybe Kamala Harris turned a blind eye to fraud like her running mate?
"Over the years, our messages have not changed. We need fraud to stop in Minnesota and good governance to be restored."
As WorldNetDaily reported, President Trump is now doubling down on his claim that Walz is "seriously retarded," saying there is "absolutely" something wrong with the Democrat who has allowed his state to be packed with Somalians.
Aboard Air Force One on a flight from Palm Beach to the nation's capital Sunday evening, a reporter asked the president: "You mentioned Tim Walz, and you called him what many Americans find an offensive word, retarded. Do you stand by that claim of calling Tim Walz retarded?"
Trump replied: "Yeah, I think there's something wrong with him. Absolutely. You have a problem with it? I think there's something wrong with him."
"Anybody who would do what he did, anybody that would allow those people into a state and pay billions of dollars out to Somalia, we give billions of dollars to Somalia. It's not even a country because it doesn't function like a country. It's got a name but it doesn't function like a country. Yeah, there's something wrong with Walz."
In a blistering late-night Truth Social post on Thanksgiving, Trump originally said: "The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both."
"Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for 'prey' as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone."

From the outside, 9170 Irvine Center Drive is just another quiet office building in Irvine, California. But public records show it is the hub of a system that recruits workers overseas, then funnels them into U.S. jobs through visa dependency. For countless American families watching their wages fall and opportunities vanish, this isn't some distant policy fight; it's the hidden hiring machine determining whether an American worker gets a fair chance or never even enters the room.
This building is not unique. All across the country, the same pattern is unfolding. An entire industry, one most Americans have never heard of, is quietly rewriting the rules of the labor market. These aren't tech companies in the traditional sense. They don't sell innovation or software. They sell people. They profit by importing temporary, visa-dependent workers through loopholes in the U.S. immigration system.
Behind glossy websites and ordinary-looking job ads lies a vast, coordinated network stretching across the United States, Canada and India. What looks like routine consulting is, in reality, a sophisticated labor-broker operation engineered to move workers, money and paperwork across borders while pushing qualified American professionals aside in favor of cheaper, more controllable foreign replacements.
The network uncovered in Irvine is not an isolated case, it is simply one example of a much larger system operating in plain sight. As vast and shocking as this structure may appear, it represents only a single case in an industry that has quietly grown into countless similar operations nationwide. Some are even larger, more sophisticated and more deeply entrenched in federal contracting, Fortune 500 supply chains and the broader tech economy than most Americans would ever imagine.
What makes these networks so difficult for the public to recognize is that they don't look like cartels. They look like consulting firms, staffing agencies, training centers and "talent solutions" companies. But behind the professional branding is the same core model: Recruit abroad, secure visas, control the worker through sponsorship and sell their labor to American companies at a discount.
The victims? American professionals who often never even learn why they were passed over and rarely see the system responsible for shutting them out.

Pro-life pregnancy centers do, in fact, have constitutional speech rights.
That's from a ruling from the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, where judges unanimously affirmed the rights of those New York centers to tell pregnant women about the abortion pill reversal protocol.
The decision keeps in place a lower court's block of New York Attorney General Letitia James' agenda to manipulate business fraud laws to censor that speech.
The process has been proven medically effective if used properly. It provides that the chemical abortion process can be reversed successfully if pursued soon after an abortion pill first is taken.
The decision by a panel of three judges said the centers are "likely to succeed on their First Amendment claim."
"Here, the preliminary injunction serves to secure the First Amendment rights of the NIFLA plaintiffs by allowing them to make religiously and morally motivated statements that provide information about APR to women who may wish to attempt to counteract the effects of an abortion initiated by oral medication," wrote Circuit Judge Bianco.
The case is National Institute of Family and Life Advocates v. James, and in it, the plaintiffs, with a network of 51 centers, sued James for illegally targeting pregnancy centers to censor pro-life viewpoints she disfavors.
James previously had sued 11 other pregnancy centers to try to force them to be silence.
Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief in the case arguing that the "weaponization" of fraud statutes to censor pregnancy centers is viewpoint-based discrimination and an unconstitutional restriction on free speech. Liberty Counsel, which has represented other pro-life pregnancy centers in different cases, said it submitted the brief to help these organizations retain the freedom and autonomy to offer life-saving medical aid for children in the womb, including the right to speak and promote APR.
James had claimed that it was commercial speech, despite the fact that the centers offer the protocol for nothing.
James' response? "Someone" has to pay.
The decision said James failed to present any constitutional plan for "regulating" such statements, so an injunction preventing her attacks was appropriate.
The protocol uses progesterone, a naturally occurring hormone that has been used safely and effectively for decades to prevent miscarriage and preterm labor. Progesterone can potentially reverse the effects of the abortion pill Mifepristone if a woman changes her mind within 72 hours after taking the drug.
Mifepristone is used in the nation's abortion industry to kill the unborn child.
Liberty Counsel chairman Mat Staver said, "The ruling by the U.S. Second Circuit Court is a victory for women and unborn children. New York's attempt to censor life-saving treatment by weaponizing business fraud laws is blatantly unconstitutional."

A transgender, a man portraying himself as a woman, who was teaching at the University of Oklahoma has been taken out of the classroom and the regents have been ordered by Gov. Kevin Stitt to make certain students are not being punished for their faith.
This all after a rant from the professor, Mel Curtis, that condemned the student's references to the Bible and faith, and instead insisted she should adopt the teacher's ideologies.
The governor's reaction: "The 1st Amendment is foundational to our freedom & inseparable from a well rounded education. The situation at OU is deeply concerning. I'm calling on the OU regents to review the results of the investigation & ensure other students aren't unfairly penalized for their beliefs."
The university said the "graduate student instructor has been placed on administrative leave pending the finalization" of an investigation.
The situation was profiled by a chapter of Turning Point USA:
The organization explained, "For a psychology course at the University Oklahoma, Samantha Fulnecky was asked to write a 650-word essay reacting to an article about how people are perceived based on societal expectations of gender. In her essay, Fulnecky argued that traditional gender roles should not be considered stereotypes. She cited the Bible to support her stance that eliminating gender in society would be 'detrimental' because that would put people 'farther from God's original plan for humans.'
"She received zero points out of 25 on the essay. Transgender professor, Mel Curtis, said Ms. Fulnecky, failed to use empirical evidence/and called parts of her essay offensive. 'To call an entire group of people 'demonic' is highly offensive, especially a minoritized population,' the instructor wrote in the online grading platform. Fulnecky says she followed the assignment guidelines and should not be penalized for her religious viewpoints. OU officials point to the formal grade-appeal process as the student awaits a decision.
"We at Turning Point OU stand with Samantha. We should not be letting mentally ill professors around students. Clearly this professor lacks the intellectual maturity to set her own bias aside and take grading seriously. Professors like this are the very reason conservatives can't voice their beliefs in the classroom. Kuddos to Samantha for leading by example and standing up for what she believes in."
A report from Not the Bee said the TPUSA posting was viewed by tens of millions of people in just days.
The assignment was to read an essay on "gender" and respond with a reflection.
"Fulnecky decided to respond by arguing that the erosion of 'gender' roles in society is the problem, and that articles like the one for the assignment are attempting to do that. Instead, she said, what we call 'gender' norms are simply the outworking of God's design for men and women," the report said.
The student said, "God made male and female and made us differently from each other on purpose and for a purpose. God is very intentional with what He makes, and I believe trying to change that would only do more harm."
Further, she wrote, "Society pushing the lie that there are multiple genders and everyone should be whatever they want to be is demonic and severely harms American youth."
Curth claimed that the gender ideologies being pushed are "the result of countless years developing psychological and scientific evidence for these claims and directly interacting with the communities involved."
Sex and gender Curth claimed, are "neither binary nor fixed."
Not the Bee responded to Curth's claim about sex and gender, "Not only is this false, but it is also a fallacious appeal to authority that is based entirely on the ideological idea – born from Marxist and leftwing thought reaching back to Rousseau and beyond – that humans are malleable widgets without a defined nature or 'instruction manual.'"
And the report explained, "The fact that the 'expert' class has used their expertise to lend scientific validity to this religious belief system does not mean that it is any more empirical than Fulnecky's Christian faith that teaches that God made us male and female in His own image (Genesis 1:27)."

A new report reveals that a cache of evidence released by Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirms that the Joe Biden administration knowingly violated the Constitution by diving into the telephone records of Republicans in Congress as part of its lawfare against President Donald Trump.
The report in the Federal confirmed, "The Biden Administration okayed Special Counsel Jack Smith's subpoenaing congressional phone records knowing the subpoenas were unconstitutional, emails released last week revealed. That same trove of documents also established the illegality of the nondisclosure orders issued by the courts to prevent the telecommunication providers from alert[ing] the members of Congress of the unconstitutional seizure of their toll records."
It continued, "In other words, the Biden Administration ignored Smith's blatant violation of congressional Republicans' constitutional rights under the Speech or Debate Clause because the special counsel's office was unlikely to criminally charge any of the congressional Republicans — and therefore, there was little 'litigation risk' that a court would exclude the unconstitutionally seized evidence."
The documents released by Grassley concerned Biden's Arctic Frost investigation into Trump, those wild claims that made up a part of the Democrats' vast lawfare campaign against Trump, which included Smith's demand for subpoenas for the telephone records of a list of key Republicans in Congress.
"A May 17, 2023 email from the Biden Administration's Department of Justice to Smith's team proves explosive, with the Public Integrity Section 'concur[ring] in the subpoenas for toll records for the identified Members of Congress.'"
The report said in "concurring" with Smith's demand for the records, "the DOJ's Public Integrity Section expressly acknowledged the unconstitutionality of the proposed course of action," the report confirmed.
In fact, John Keller, an employee of that department, specifically said, "As you are aware, there is some litigation risk regarding whether compelled disclosure of toll records of a Member's legislative calls violates the Speech or Debate Clause in the D.C. Circuit."
Further, the email cited the controlling precedent of United States v. Rayburn House Office Building, in which a court concluded "The bar on compelled disclosure is absolute" under the Constitution's Speech or Debate Clause.
"[T]he caselaw is clear that a legislator asserting the invasion of the Speech or Debate Clause privilege by use of a grand jury subpoena to a third party may intervene and oppose such use," the email said.
But the Biden administration demanded the records, "Notwithstanding the clarity of the D.C. Circuit's holding in Rayburn House Office Building, 'that a search that allows agents of the Executive to review privileged materials without the Member's consent violates the [Speech or Debate] Clause.'"
The result?
"The Biden Administration ignored Smith's blatant violation of congressional Republicans' constitutional rights under the Speech or Debate Clause because the special counsel's office was unlikely to criminally charge any of the congressional Republicans — and therefore, there was little 'litigation risk' that a court would exclude the unconstitutionally seized evidence."
The disaster for Biden and Smith doesn't end there, either, the report said.
"That the Biden Administration's DOJ and the special counsel's office viewed the subpoenaed congressional Republicans as uninvolved in any of the supposed criminal activity under investigation related to the 2020 election proves significant for a second reason: Several federal judges or magistrates entered nondisclosure orders under the Stored Communications Act, meaning the telecommunication providers were directed not to 'disclose the existence of the Subpoena to any other person (except attorneys for PROVIDER for the purpose of receiving legal advice).'"
However, federal law allows a nondisclosure order only if a judge concludes there is reason to believe notifying the investigation target would endanger someone's life, someone would flee prosecution, or someone would tamper with evidence.
Yet Smith demanded nondisclosure orders for his dive into the records of the senators.
Given that the special counsel's team — with the concurrence of the DOJ — believed it unlikely that any of the congressional Republicans would face criminal charges, it is inconceivable that the special counsel's office would nonetheless represent to a court that there were 'reasonable grounds' to believe disclosing the subpoena to the members of Congress would result in the destruction or tampering of evidence, intimidation of witnesses, or otherwise jeopardized the investigation," the report said.
Further damaging to Biden and Smith is the fact that the team politically investigating the 2020 election and Trump's concerns gave "not even a hint of concern over whether congressional Republicans might obstruct the investigation," the report said.

Joe Biden, repeatedly telling the American public to believe the unlikely scenario that Russia blew up its own Nord Stream pipeline, may not have been telling the truth at all, according to a new column from constitutional expert and law professor Jonathan Turley.
The submerged pipeline was blown up by saboteurs in the waters near Denmark and Sweden in 2022, and a number of suspects emerged, including Ukraine.
Turley noted the truth remains unknown, but now German prosecutors appear to be zeroing in on key Ukrainian individuals.
That's despite Biden's repeated claims to Americans that it was all the Russians.
Turley explained, "This week, a German court issued an arrest warrant for Ukrainian Serhii Kuznietsov, which may finally confirm what was long suspected: that Ukraine was responsible for the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines in the waters near Denmark and Sweden.
"The Biden administration may have been given prior warning. It was allegedly told years ago by a Ukrainian whistleblower that a six-person team of Ukrainian special forces was planning to rent a boat, dive to the sea floor and blow up the Nord Stream project. The operation was reportedly led by Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, commander-in-chief of Ukraine's armed forces," he explained.
But after the attack, Biden and media operatives "fueled speculation that Russia had destroyed its own pipeline, despite evidence and logic to the contrary. It was another convenient claim of a Russian false-flag operation that allowed the Biden administration to ignore the possibility that Ukraine had not only engaged in environmental crimes but had also knowingly lied to its allies."
He said the Biden explanation often has been questioned. And the truth may soon be coming as a German court issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian "in a move that could prove an embarrassment for not just Volodymyr Zelensky but Joe Biden."
"The suggestion of a Russian attack on a Russian pipeline never seemed logical. However, the administration was funneling billions in support for Ukraine, funding that now exceeds an estimated $180 billion. Having Ukraine sabotage pipelines to our allies would hardly be opportune when many were questioning the costs to U.S. citizens," Turley noted.
"The Biden administration was not alone in running interference for Ukraine, as Zelensky denied responsibility despite mounting evidence to the contrary. When another alleged Ukrainian saboteur was found in Poland, a Polish court blocked the extradition to Germany and ordered his release. The reason? The judge did not base the decision on Ukrainian denials. Instead, he declared that the act had been committed in the name of a just war.
Authorities in Italy took another direction. When the arrest warrant was issued for Kuznietsov, he was ordered extradited.
"If the investigators are correct, it was not just the Ukrainian government that was lying to us. Biden was also presumably informed by the intelligence agencies of this evidence. Yet Biden kept suggesting anyway that the Russians were covering up the truth. He told the public, 'The Russians are pumping out disinformation and lies. We will work with our allies to get to the bottom [of precisely what happened] Just don't listen to what Putin's saying. What he's saying we know is not true,'" the column explained.
And now, while Germans are working to find the truth, "the question is whether the American public will ever be given transparency on our own government's alleged complicity or knowledge. The public was asked to pump billions into a war while the administration allegedly covered up an attack by Ukraine on a Western pipeline — and then may have misled the public. The public also has a right to know if the CIA was told in advance that this attack was coming and either gave tacit approval or said nothing to our allies."
The attack left three of four Nord Stream pipelines inoperable. They were providing natural gas from Russia to Europe.
Russia sought, unsuccessfully, a United Nations investigation. Denmark and Sweden each launched reviews, which failed to identify those responsible. Germany's investigation continues, and it has identified seven suspects, including former members of a diving school in Kyiv.

The fate of baby Jesus may have been very different if Republicans were in charge some 2,000 years ago.
That's the opinion of U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, who appeared Sunday on MS Now.
"I just want to be clear. This is the [Republican] party that says that they care so much about life until life actually shows up at their front door," Crockett said.
"And this is also the party that is supposedly about Christianity and I just imagine what they would have done to a little baby Jesus but that's a whole other issue."
Crockett was discussing a report last week claiming hundreds of immigrants children were being held in federal detention centers.
ProPublica reported: "Since the start of this year, some 600 immigrant children have been placed in government shelters by ICE, according to government data. That figure, which has not been previously reported, is already higher than the tally for the previous four years combined. And it is the highest number since recordkeeping began a decade ago."
Crockett went on to say: "It is really so heartbreaking. We know that under the prior Trump administration, it was the children in cages.
"So for me, expecting them to do better by children was not one of the things that was on my bingo card."
As WorldNetDaily reported in 2019, it was actually former President Barack Obama who put kids in cages.
Obama's top official in charge of removing illegal aliens has confirmed the "cages" used to detain juveniles who are in the country illegally were established by the Obama administration.
"I've been to that facility, where they talk about cages. That facility was built under President Obama under [Homeland Security] Secretary Jeh Johnson," said Tom Homan, Obama's executive associate director for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"I was there … when it was built," he said, reported Paul Bedard at the Washington Examiner.
Homan is currently the White House border czar in the administration of President Donald Trump.
