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.

history rhymes, and similarly, this won't look good in future textbooks

Which is why they’re dismantling the educational system here too

They've been at it for several decades now. It's a large part of why Trump won.

I sure hope that future is less than hundred of years from now

There are no parallels that can be drawn here.

In other words, history repeats itself.

Hope someone is setting up bank accounts for future reparation payments...

If we ever get a real government again they need to seize all Trump assets and sell them as a starting point.

[–] TomMasz@lemmy.world 7 points 4 hours ago

Rubbing it in, big time.
