Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Deputy Commissioner Robert Perez debunked a claim by Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden that the Obama administration did not use “cages” at immigration border facilities.

While responding to a question during the Democratic primary debate last night, Biden said, “Comparing this president to the president we have is outrageous. Number one, we didn’t lock people up in cages. We didn’t separate families. We didn’t do all of those things, number one.”
