From the link:

A bus used for transporting infants and small children to and from one of these facilities, went viral earlier this year, horrifying viewers who had never imagined a prison bus with car seats. Again, this isn’t new — the bus was actually depicted in a press release from the private prison company in 2016. What’s new is the accelerated rate of family separation, to such a degree that a makeshift tent city has been built to house children as family facilities overflow.

I'm sure the practice continues - but please don't misrepresent Obama-era images to blast Trump. It doesn't help our cause when we complain about the right wing being unable to tell the difference between fact and fiction if we don't eitehr.
