"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social.

"That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."
Don’t call them ICE detention centers. Call them camps | John Washington
I’ve spent a decade reporting on immigration enforcement. The word ‘camp’ best captures the political function of these facilities

2. Was DHS Director Mullin asked what percentage of innocent immigrants interred in American concentration camps have had their and their families' lives irrevocably disrupted?

#FredKorematsu was arrested on #ThisDayInHistory in 1942. He had resisted FDR's #ExecutiveOrder9066, which sent #JapaneseAmericans to #ConcentrationCamps. #ACLU backed him in a trial that upheld the legality of these #racist camps. SCOTUS finally criticized the precedent in 2018.

3/23/1942-The U.S. began moving all those of Japanese ancestry, including some native-born U.S. citizens, from their west coast homes to indefinite imprisonment in detention centers, beginning with Manzanar in California which eventually held more than 10,000 Americans.

March 23, 1942 - The U.S. government began moving all those of Japanese ancestry, including some native-born U.S. citizens (known as nisei), from their west coast homes to indefinite imprisonment in detention centers, beginning with Manzanar in California which eventually held more than 10,000 Americans.

Memorial #stone marker at the #BainbridgeIsland Japanese American Exclusion Memorial, speaking with hope and determination: "Let it not happen again."

And yet, inexplicably and inexcusably, here we are.

An engraved plaque is mounted into the front of a large gray mountain-shaped, partially lichen-covered stone. Behind the stone, a small California lilac tree is beginning to bloom with purple flowers. The plaque reads: "On the morning of March 30, 1942, 227 Bainbridge Island men, women, and children, most of them United States Citizens, were escorted by armed soldiers to the Eagledale ferry landing. They solemnly boarded the ferry Kehloken and departed on a lonely journey with an unknown destination and fate. "They were exiled by Presidential Executive Order 9066 and Civilian Exclusion Order No. 1 because they were Nikkei — persons of Japanese ancestry. With only six days notice they were forced to hastily sell, store, or make arrangements for all of their possessions, businesses and property. They were allowed to take only what they could carry or wear. "They were the first of more than 120,000 Japanese-Americans to be forcibly removed from their homes and experience three years of unconstitutional internment. No all were interned. Some were drafted into the military, some were unjustly imprisoned, and some moved away — but all were forbidden to remain. "We dedicate this site to honor those who suffered and to cherish their friends and community who stood by them and welcomed them home. May the spirit of this memorial inspire each of us to safeguard constitutional right for all. "Nidoto Nai Yoni 'Let it not happen again'".

On #ThisDayInHistory in 1942, #FDR signed the viciously racist #ExecutiveOrder9066, leading to 120,000 #JapaneseAmericans, 2/3 of them born in the United States, being sent to #ConcentrationCamps for years. Stop calling this an #internment --- that word is for prisoners of war.

We’ve a checkered history in this country, with freedom most especially. It’s high time we’re talking about it, because this regime wants to turn the whole board grey.

The #SCOTUS on #ThisDayInHistory in 1944 made one of its worst rulings, 6 to 3, that #FDR's #ExecutiveOrder9066 was legal. #KorematsuVUnitedStates cleared the way for 120,000 Americans to spend #WWII in #ConcentrationCamps, using the same #racist reasoning as the #Fascist powers.

I've written a review of Rachel Maddow's new podcast #BurnOrder, about Japanese American incarceration in WWII.

This is its opening.

I'm pitching it to editors right now. Know someone you think would be interested? Please let me know!

#MSNow #Maddow #RachelMaddow #ExecutiveOrder9066 #internment
Rachel Maddow's Burn Order is gripping, dramatic, and wrong in the ways that matter most. It turns a complex and collective failure of American law and leadership into a fable of one scheming bureaucrat and the few brave souls who tried to stop him.

But none of that made it right.
And they weren’t done.
Next, they came for the rest of the West Coast.

Experts say the MIS shortened the war by at least two years.

February 19, 1942.
#ExecutiveOrder9066. The President of the United States scapegoated members of a certain ethnicity and required all of them -- REGARDLESS OF US CITIZENSHIP -- to report for a term separation. The incarceration lasted years. Many lost everything.

governor.ca.gov Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · Feb 19
On this day in 1942, Executive Order 9066 authorized the internment of thousands of loyal Japanese American citizens.

This act was a betrayal of our most sacred values as a nation. California stands for our fellow Americans, regardless of national origin or immigration status.

For me, as the daughter of a 4th gen JA & a Japanese woman, #ExecutiveOrder9066 & #DayofRemembrance is particularly potent.

I want people to remember that it is only ONE chapter of JA history. That their #resilience is exemplary.
