Here is an example of a Dutch call-up paper for Jews to report to labor camps.
The Frank family ignored their call-up, meaning they were officially in Amsterdam illegally from this point on.
The Trump administration is doing Holocaust revisionism to avoid the possibility of empathy for migrants.

dear god. that's serious holocaust shit
Some immigrant parents, fearful of their children facing similar uncertainty if they were to be arrested, detained or deported are taking the extreme step of legally transferring parental authority to teachers, co-workers, fellow parishioners and neighbors.
Fearing ICE, parents make plans for their children’s care
Some families give legal authority to others to make key decisions about a child’s life if a parent is detained and deported.

Federal agents killing people in the streets is an assault on the right of all Americans to be safe.
Senate Democrats must reject funding for ICE this coming week and demand an end to this madness.
Doing anything else would be a tacit endorsement of the terror and chaos in our streets.
