First impulse is Drumpf and DOJ are trying to sell us on this equal opportunity “look ma, token White family.” Cynical Black rolls her eyes.👀 Did Homan dump family in summer or ICE camp? OR did they get to stay home while immigration hitch gets fix? I don’t see kids’ lives disrupted. No fear either.

Did I miss that in the story somewhere? Didn’t catch anything about supporting Trump in my first read.

The average fearful immigrant has fled totalitarian states, to them fearing and worshipping the most evil man atop the pile is survival level action, for those who don't are kidnapped, slain and humiliated. This is a global issue. We need something far stronger than the UN and global in consensus.

More crap from you. Yes it happened. That’s was then; this is now. That was war time; now Is dealing with ILLEGALS that you and yours let over our borders. Say it again, out loud, repeat after me ILLEGALS

@chu.house.gov how many of those internment camps are now being used to house ICE detainees?

They are also doing it for profit. These are for-profit camps.

It wasn't just the Japanese but, our propagandised history taught in schools doesn't cover just how horrible it was.

And internees were forced to abandon or quickly sell their homes and businesses, resulting in the loss of most everything they owned.

In 1988 Ronald Reagan apologized for the Japanese internment camps. How long will the victims of trump's atrocities have to wait for their apology?

Not something to be proud of

Highlighting our wonderful Bill of Temporary Privileges

Within four decades of this atrocity the US apologized to the families and paid reparations to all of them. The US has never apologized to Black people for slavery, nor to Native Americans for genocide and has paid $0 in combined reparations to both groups.

It's happening again. If only our elected officials would do something about it.

And remember that Dean Cain (qv. Dean George Tanaka), whose grandparents were interned at the Minidoka War Relocation Center in Idaho during WWII, joined ICE so he could help intern a whole new generation of not-so-white people... because a pedophile pays him your tax dollars to do so.

One of the many shameful stains on our country with the way we’ve treated immigrants. We’ve not learned not grown from them sadly.

Roosevelt also turned away ships packed with Jews fleeing Nazi Germany seeking asylum. Sent them back to their deaths. Helluva guy.

shows how fearful americans are, even when the enemy is elsewhere. (sorry no caps)

Listen to Burn Order podcast Rachel Maddow.

A national shame

President George H.W. Bush issued an official apology to Japanese-Americans on behalf of the government.

A shameful decision rooted in racism, not in our national interest.

Japapanese

NO MORE CONCENTRATION CAMPS!!!

Solely? Their motherland had destroyed the entire pacific fleet of your navy!

Shame

Something for which our country should be perpetually ashamed.

We clearly have learned nothing since that vile episode.

Repetition of wrong is something the racists are good at.

Such a stain!!

It was disgraceful and an embarrassment on the USA!

i first learned about this watching Farewell to Manzanar and i was angry it wasn't taught as a part of history in school i still cry about it thank you Rep Chu for your service 💖

I thought we were supposed to learn from our mistakes.

Shameful! And now Latinos (even those on citizenship paths, actual citizens, families, children and babies, folks without any criminal records) are violently kidnapped from jobs, homes, hospitals, school areas and incarcerated in vile places like the cruel Dilley Center in Texas!

It was then too.

That’s a stain that we can never erase. One of, unfortunately, many. Too many of us let fear trigger our ancient animal instincts and go back to being “baboons with imagination”. We should learn the past so we can do better.

And they moved the horses at Santa Anita, but didn't even clean out the stalls before they required human beings to live in them.

A stain on his legacy.

A dark day. And that the Supreme Court upheld it makes it even darker

the indigenous are always the persecuted

Among the worst days in American history. And we haven’t learned from it.

Wrong then. Wrong now.

This time it'll be for political affiliation.

Many German-Americans and Italian-Americans were swept up at the same time. See the books 'Undue Process' by Arnold Krammer, 'Fear Itself' by Stephen Fox, 'Communazis' by Alexander Stephan and John Eric Schmitz's doctoral dissertation 'Enemies Among Us'. Proclamations 2526 & 2527 authorised this.

The original authority to detain Japanese and Japanese-Americans was Presidential Proclamation 2525, issued on Dec 8th 1941. By Dec 11th, Los Angeles FBI alone had arrested 311 Japanese, 59 Germans and 10 Italians. The OP refers to a more general order, mandating mass relocation.

My mom's family was German-American, her grandparents were immigrants in the late 1800s. I remember asking about that and she said only a few who were Hilter supporters disappeared. She told me that her family tried to be very American versus German after WWI.

FDR's executive order rounding up the Japanese was definitely racially motivated. The bombing of Pearl Harbor not withstanding, Germans and Italians were rounded up because they were white.

My Mom and her siblings were treated like scum during WW2 because they were German/Americans. They were born here and couldn't even speak German but were called many derogatory names in school. I live in a town that had a WW2 POW camp that held Italians, Germans and Japanese soldiers for awhile.

We did pay a price … both during WWI and WWII. Americans turned their hatred towards the Kaiser & Hitler on German-Americans and there were a LOT of incidents of prejudice towards us. Some, during WWI, were caught up when Wilson activated Alien Enemies Act — my family included.

What a shameful time in our history!

American “exceptionalism”?

😞

So here we are again! Stupid people don't learn from history. And we have a really stupid person in the White House, who is followed by a large group of really stupid supporters. Some day, God willing, this Administration will face real justice for the crimes that they are perpetrating on America.

A(nother)shameful day in our history.

Even great people are guilty of doing or saying evil. Teddy Roosevelt(FDR's uncle) once said the racist "The only good Indian is a 'dead' Indian. Or, Winston Churchill saved U.K. from Fascist Germany while killing many during Freedom/Democracy/independence protests in India. Canada had camps too.

A sad history for both the US and Canada.

Same as it ever was.

💔

There’s no way that was legal

This rampant RACISM continues to haunt & infect our society today. WE the PEOPLE must be the #RESISTANCE & the cure.

2/2 Drumpf has caused undue pain to the Latino families. A status “undocumented immigrant” is not criminal; it is civil procedure. Yet, innocent families have been torn apart, and even babies & children put in ICE camps. The struggles of Japanese, Blacks & Latinos will reverberate for generations.

FDR did so much good but interring Japanese Americans was one of the worst things in our history. Will we ever learn?

That was a sad day in American history. But looking around today history is repeating its-self!

Shame

He was a democrat. He would have jailed the non vaccine covid people too I’m sure…

Was another stupid decision to incarcerate American Japanese.

Honoluluiuli internment camp

Yes, I posted this early this morning. A terrible time in American history. Many Japanese Americans served in the US Armed forces at the time as well.

It was a bad idea then. Why should it be any better NOW?

And they'll do it again with Latinos

Tragic’

I listened to Burn Notice by Rachel Maddow. Here we are again.

And they never got their homes, possessions, businesses or farms back. We’ve always been this racist and terrible, and we need to stop it once and for all.

😭

And the effing GOP is trying to repeat history! We need to do everything we can do to stop the insanity.

Americans need to learn more about their own history, they might be surprised. www.history.com/articles/jap...

A dark chapter in US history, one that we must remember to prevent similar injustices from happening again.

Magas have no original ideas.

Now Trump is doing the same

As he did not include those of German Decent. Clearly a racist act.

This, and also Project Overcast and its overarching and more famous Operation Paperclip made sure we brought those Germans into our government

Check out this Graphic Novel by a one Mister George Takei. They Called Us Enemy.

A permanent stain on our country. Absolutely disgusting.

A huge stain on our history as a nation. We were so unprepared the shock of being attacked made everyone panic. There is no excuse for what is now transpiring in this country.

Good thing we learn from our history. If only they would have told true history on schools.

Such a horrible stain on our history.

Like Mr Carlin Said, it's a bill of privileges that gets smaller every year. youtu.be/gaa9iw85tW8?...

Weird how that applied to Japanese but not Germans...

I'm surprised the convict hasn't tried to hide this dark part of our history.

Another sad day in our racist history.

Reverse of this does appear similar horror - for Americans who became Japanese citizens at that time. Also horrendous, wrong & unthinkable today. Cruel time in World ! www.reddit.com/r/AskHistori...

So basically like what ICE is doing, except without the incinerators to murder innocent people.

If you don’t know history, it’s bound to repeat itself 😢

Shameful. Just one of many he was responsible for.

Hitler did the same thing with 6 million Jews and gypsies. The US broight in Chinese as slave laborers. The UK tried to eliminate aboriginals in Australia through selective breeding. Israel is currently trying to wipe out Paestinians. My point is, this crap happens all the time throughout history.

What trump is doing is worse. But I don't agree with what Roosevelt did either. It's past time we stop this insanity and remove these criminals from power.

A dark moment in our history.

FACTS! These idiots are not even original in their hate. Will it take us as long or longer to repent, repair and/or restore? Inquiring minds…

So you are in favor of defunding ICE then, right?

If only history was properly taught in our schools. Maybe we would not be repeating our mistakes, over and over again.

A shame that has never been fully apologized for…

Let’s learn from this tragic egregious even and NEVER allow this to happen to citizens of the United States of America again!

He was badly, very badly, duplicitously advised. The lying of the authorities was terrible, history shows. It was a terrible thing.

And he did it on false Information Sounds familiar

Never forget? 🙄

You're blinded, by your own hate.. You do know? That voice in ur head isn't God? "He doesn't believe in Us" But... The devil does... 😁✌️

A stain on his presidency and the U.S. Our hands have always been dirty. From the massacres of indigenous people, to using people as slaves, white men have been the downfall of humanity. Women enabled it, even though they were also treated like chattel. Past time to make changes. Now would be good.

You should delete this

What the hell is wrong with you

The Japanese citizens lost their homes and businesses and suffered terribly. Even so, most Japanese men joined the US military and fought for the country that treated them so horribly. Yes, today’s “camps” are terrible as well. Our government is failing its people again.

So sorry to our Japanese American neighbors.💔

Canada did the same thing, and later modified the constitution so it WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.

That's not why it was done. Are you this ignorant.
