The internet has been in uproar over shocking images of immigrant children forced to sleep on the floor in metal 'cages' by ICE.

Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau, former LA mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and several high profile journalists, including NYT Mag's editor-in-chief Jake Silverstein, were quick to condemn the photos.

Favreau warned that 'the only debate that matters', after seeing those photos, was 'how we force our government to get these kids back to their families as fast as humanly possible.'

The photos showed pictures of young children, separated from their parents, and forced to sleep on mats on the floor at two separate detention centers in Brownsville and Nogales, Texas.

One picture showed dozens of children sleeping under small pieces of foil, in a large room, surrounded by metal fences. There appears to be no toys or books for entertain the young children who had been separated form their families.

“Speechless, this is not who we are as a nation,' added Villaraigosa.

But today saw an embarrassing climb down from the outrage of yesterday, as people realized the images actually date from 2014, under the former administration - although it still reveals some of the shocking conditions ICE detainees have been forced to endure by ICE, (Immigration and Customs Enforcement).

Another stab at attacking Trump, when these photos were taken under the Obama administration.

Where was the outrage then?
