      From Homan’s wikipedia:

      "By 2014, under the Obama administration, Homan began to argue that separating children from their caregivers would be an effective way to discourage illegal border crossings. The journalist Caitlin Dickerson has called him the “intellectual father” of the policy, which he outlined years before the Trump administration adopted it. “Most parents don’t want to be separated”, Homan told Dickerson. He argued that this makes separation an effective tool for immigration enforcement: “I’d be lying to you if I didn’t think that would have an effect.”[9]

      In 2015, the Obama administration awarded him a Presidential Rank Award as a Distinguished Executive."

      I cant beleive Obama appointed him and gave him an award after he suggested separating kids from their parents. Just monstrous. Eff you for that one, Barack.
