When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

From NYC to LA, we are in solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters.
People deserve to be safe in their homes, workplaces, schools and neighborhoods.
We will not allow this administration—or anyone—to strip away the dignity and humanity that every person deserves.

Take a minute from your day and read this chilling story about how quickly we've gotten to where we are.
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation
Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation"
Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo.
Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper.
While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation.
This is flat out un-American.

The Columbia deportation case is bad enough on its own — but the precedent is worse. People can be deported without breaking a law because of a vague reference to foreign policy.

I was so sad to learn about Clint Hill’s passing earlier this week. His story featured prominently in my book with @bradmeltzer.com, #TheJFKConspiracy.
In 1960, Hill was a young Secret Service given the job of a lifetime: handling security for the incoming First Lady, Jacqueline Kennedy. (1/3)

Clint Hill, Who Sprang to Kennedys’ Side as Shots Were Fired, Dies at 93
A Secret Service agent, he leaped onto the president’s limousine in Dallas in 1963 and was credited with saving the first lady’s life. But he was haunted by his inability to save her husband.

One thing that's been very revealing is how many politicians valorized working-class and middle-class workers, unless those folks work for the federal government. The cheering of the purging of regular people who have had their entire financial lives upended has been something to see.
