No they were not. Stop lying.umm, yes they were... protocol goes as far back as 2014.
typing in bold to highlight some sort of semantics difference is splitting hairs.
The protocol was not a zero tolerance policy such as the one Jeff Sessions enacted. Obama only separated parents from kids if the parents posed a threat to the children(i.e if the parents were carrying drugs or weapons). Also, it was very rare when it happened.
It's asinine to equate the two.
The Obama administration was very clear about who was in ICE crosshairs: convicted criminals with deportation orders. He was the déporter on Chief because his administration deported the most people, not because he held every single illegal crosser into kennels. We didn't have one single UN report highlighting the abuse of migrants; we didn't deal with UN human right inspectors wanting to visit the border and being denied visas to do so. The word in bold is there for a reason, whether you like it or not.
