Americans of Japanese heritage say they hear echoes of their families’ forced internment in the Trump administration’s newest immigrant detention site.
Homeland Security officials say Donald Trump’s sweeping mass deportation campaign requires a build-up of detention centers to bridge the gap between arrests and removals. They’ve turned to the U.S. military and private contractors to get the job done, including erecting the nation’s largest immigrant detention site on Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.
But stewards of Japanese American history, including the children and grandchildren of those who were held in detention, are criticizing the use of Fort Bliss and the plans to expand immigrant detention on American military bases.
Fun fact: A good amount of Americans during WW2 wanted to support Nazi Germany
And a lot of Nazi policies were based on US segregation and eugenics.
another fun fact, the nazi determined some of the american segregation policies were to extreme for them.
The northern states, in contrast, supported the Allies.
Yet we’re still racist as hell
