  • On 17 June 2018, a photograph appeared on Facebook and Instagram with claims that it showed children wearing numbered shirts assigned to them by immigration authorities: The image showed a small boy wearing a 47 shirt, and posters explicitly compared the child to Holocaust victims: It appears that a complete version of the photograph appeared with a 16 June 2018 New York Times opinion editorial titled You Can’t Be Pro-Life and Against Immigrant Children. A caption for the photograph simply said: A closer look at the image shows that the numbering is part of the shirt: A separate article published by another outlet provided a similar description for a photograph clearly from the same set of images: The photographs showed Border Patrol agents taking in a father and son, neither of whom had yet been processed. The snapshot was captured as the pair were apprehended, meaning they had not been issued clothing. The uncropped images show a shirt manufactured for retail, not government issue. (en)
