This IS fake news.
Time magazine spreading it and so is CNN.
What is fake? What does Time say in the article about the issue or the photo?
The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.

And Time pretty clearly at least at one point thought that was the case. A correction on the piece a separate piece featuring the photo from earlier in the week says:
Correction: The original version of this story misstated what happened to the girl in the photo after she taken from the scene. The girl was not carried away screaming by U.S. Border Patrol agents; her mother picked her up and the two were taken away together.
That's a pretty bad mistake.

For everyone who is confusing being detained with being arrested:
"Arrested" means you have been taken into custody and can't leave. You can be "detained" for a short period of time if a police officer or other person believes you may be involved in a crime

The photographer himself stated that he didn't know the child's fate and thought they would be separated.
DEMOCRATIC REP. ADMITS THE CHILD MIGRANT CRISIS ‘WAS KEPT VERY QUIET UNDER THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION’
“It was kept very quiet under the Obama administration. There were large numbers of people coming in. The Obama administration was trying to keep this quiet,” Cuellar told CNN’s Fredricka Whitfield.
Cuellar added that the number of children being held at the border right now is similar to the amount during the Obama administration.
“We still see the numbers,” he said, adding that “not all of them are being separated. Some of them are coming alone.”

TIME Magazine - cover image article
John Moore, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer for Getty Images, has been photographing immigrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border for years. This week one of his pictures became the most visible symbol of the immigration debate in America.
“This one was tough for me. As soon as it was over, they were put into a van. I had to stop and take deep breaths,” Moore told TIME Tuesday, describing his reaction to the scene of a two-year-old Honduran girl crying as her mother was being detained in McAllen, Texas. “All I wanted to do was pick her up. But I couldn’t.”

Due to the power of the image, which appeared as critics from across the political spectrum attacked President Trump’s now-reversed policy of separating children from parents who are being detained for illegally entering the United States, TIME’s editors selected Moore’s photograph to create a photo illustration, including Trump, to make the July 2, 2018, cover of the magazine.

No, Gothmog is 100% correct on this. A correction is fine for a genuine error. But this is simply sloppy, poor journalism.
And it's made worse when this seems to be constantly fed to the masses to support an agenda. Under the guise of 'misstating' something.

'Time' to call out and condemn Obama equally?
Whataboutism disease sure seem to be spreading rapidly.
Anyway, wrong is wrong, no matter who the president is.

Wait a second..... You mean I cant believe what the state sanctioned media tells me?!?!
Too many people blinded by their hatred for a man who has never done ANYTHING to them, and who they never met, to think critically.
Bravo to the simpletons who fell for it.
