REP. AYANNA PRESSLEY (D-MA): If we improve the conditions of children in a cage, they are still in a cage.

REP. ILHAN OMAR (D-MN): Right now the president is committing human rights abuses at the border, keeping children in cages and having human beings drinking out of toilets.

REP. ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ (D-NY): He can't look all Americans in the face and justify why this country is throwing them in cages.

BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): We're not throwing them in cages. Why does she keep saying that? And we know the original set-up was President Obama's in 2011. Does she think we don't understand that?
