Our Administration..,"didn't lock people up in cages"
Fact check
False.But for Biden to say that Obama’s administration did not put people in cages is inaccurate. Obama and Biden in 2014 saw an influx of children arriving at the border without a parent or guardian, and reporting from 2014 by the Arizona Republic referred to a chain-link enclosure holding children as "cages." A former Homeland Security secretary under the Obama administration in interviews has acknowledged that some have described as "cages" the enclosures used during Obama’s tenure.
Liberal rationale:
yes, but Obama's chain-link "enclosures" were not really cages because the policies at the time were different, even though there are photos of immigrant children behind chain-link "barriers" during the Obama admin.
Did the Obama/Biden admin build Trump's "cages"
Fact check: True

Liberal rationale:
Yes, but those were built as 'barriers " to protect undocumented families and children from separating themselves while being detained by humanitarian assistants.
Detention centers were atrocious under Obama but worse under Trump
