Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

DHS lied. Video shows ICE agents crashing into a U.S. citizen, dragging her out at gunpoint, then detaining her without cause. She’s a citizen that committed no crime.
