A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

@georgetakei Under Trump It's not theory, at least for domestic torture camps, it's not distant future, it's a signed decree right now called "wellness farms" open for anyone doing drugs, needs medicine or struggles with mental health. What this means? Bet "Trump Derangement Syndrome" will be in the next ICD: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_derangement_syndrome
Scientific America has more about Wellness Farms: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-is-the-trump-administration-villainizing-mental-health-meds-for-kids/
If we phrase it "(US) citizen put into (domestic _or_ foreign) camps by US government" - do I really need to go on? Guess everyone interested in the topic already has some bells ringing about current and past things going on. I'd even argue the war on minorities and activists isn't specifically a Trump thing, just the pace at which it happens and that the gov is so vocal about it.
Also there is a fun story from germany: Hungary asked for extradition of someone, court rules in first instance to extradite a german citizen. But as prison conditions are expected to be free of human rights it went to a higher court. Cops were informed that courts first instance decision isn't final but cops went up early that day to deport the woman - while in parallel the court was deciding that she can't be extradited. When she was there the word was "yea, sorry, too late, can't get her back no more". Meanwhile court ruled the extradition was illegal in first place. But has no consequences: https://www.tagesschau.de/inland/auslieferung-ungarn-102.html (german)

It's the same law is it not, the "Alien Enemies Act" that the Trump regime is using to disappear non-citizens to the El Salvador prison?
The law that President Roosevelt used in 1942. It's from 1798.

GOP Congress can stop tRUMP at any time. In the case of tariffs, they could simply reassert their constitutional power to manage tariffs.

@georgetakei I've been reading a book called American Sutra, about American Buddhists and how they lived through that era and in the camps. Amazing story and amazing people. Hard to believe it actually happened here, but alas it did and we must not forget.

I was not even alive then, but I know what you are referring to. I am sorry for what you went thru. Way too many people today will never connect the dots. Mainly because they are not aware the dots exist.

It already happened to several US citizens and also to tourists who just loved the U.S. tourist folder pictures. And when ICE don't arrest you: beware because in the U.S. any idiot you meet in the street could be carrying a loaded gun.

@georgetakei it is so painful to see history repeated in the most scary and at the same time most idiotic way. Cruel in both - past and present.

@georgetakei And that was a time of supposedly "responsible" governing. There's no doubt in my mind that they WILL go after anyone they feel they can, so protect your neighbors, your friends, everyone that matters to you. Be there for them.

@georgetakei But hey, the Supreme Court has explained that that was "gravely wrong." It took them 70 years to get around to explaining it, though.

You know, deliberately create instability and civic unrest, and from there doctoring a pretext that allows you to invoke martial law is only a tiny step. That accomplished pretty much anything goes. It's how it's usually done.

I heard your family's story on the BBC π, thank you for sharing and reminding us.
A π΄πΆππΆ (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
