President Trump on Sunday said that he wants reporters to visit migrant detention facilities at the Southern Border.
Asked if he would visit the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facility in Clint, Texas, which has been the subject of a number of reports, Trump said, "What we're going to do is I'm going to start showing some of these detention centers ... to the press," according to CNN.
"I want the press to go in and see them," Trump added. "We're going to send people in. We're going to have some of the press go in."
Trump also tweeted Sunday that media was reporting "phony and exaggerated accounts" of poor conditions at border detention centers.

On October 5, 1943, the first Danish Jews were transported into Theresienstadt. Soon after their arrival, the Danish Red Cross and the Swedish Red Cross began inquiring about their whereabouts and their condition. The Nazis decided to let them visit one location that would prove to the Danes and to the world that Jews were living under humane conditions. But how could they change an overcrowded, pest infected, ill-nourished, and high mortality-rate camp into a spectacle for the world? In December 1943, the Nazis told the Council of Elders of Theresienstadt about the Embellishment. The commander of Theresienstadt, SS Colonel Karl Rahm, took control of planning. An exact route was planned for the visitors to take. All buildings and grounds along this route were to be enhanced by green turf, flowers, and benches. A playground, sports fields, and even a monument were added. Prominent and Dutch Jews had their billets enlarged, as well as had furniture, drapes, and flower boxes added. But even with the physical transformation of the Ghetto, Rahm thought that the Ghetto was too crowded. On May 12, 1944, Rahm ordered the deportation of 7,500 inhabitants. In this transport, the Nazis decided that all orphans and most of the sick should be included to help the facade that the Embellishment was creating. The Nazis, so clever at creating facades, didn't miss a detail. They erected a sign over a building that read "Boys' School" as well as another sign that read "closed during holidays." Needless to say, no one ever attended the school. On the day that the commission arrived, June 23, 1944, the Nazis were fully prepared. As the tour commenced, well-rehearsed actions took place that were created specially for the visit. Bakers baking bread, a load of fresh vegetables being delivered, and workers singing were all queued by messengers who ran ahead of the entourage. After the visit, the Nazis were so impressed with their propaganda feat that they decided to make a film. The propaganda documentary, The Fuhrer Gives a Village to the Jews, was shot in September 1944, directed by Kurt Gerron, a Jewish prisoner who had been a film professional. He and others in the film were sent to Auschwitz afterward and murdered.
