1/2 #JapaneseAmericanCitizensLeague protests Trump’s use of the #AlienEnemyAct. Kenyon Mayeda of #JACL
“It laid the groundwork for executive order 9066…the mass incarceration of over 120,000 #JapaneseAmericans. We cannot allow history to repeat itself. We must stand together & say #neveragain”

The Alien Enemies Act Paved the Way for Japanese American Incarceration. Let’s Keep It in the Past. - Densho: Japanese American Incarceration and Japanese Internment Trump's threat to deport millions of immigrants if elected is based on the Alien Enemies Act, the same law behind Japanese American WWII incarceration.

To my friends in the AJA community and to allies of that community and all immigrant communities-Trump intends to invoke the Alien Enemies Act tomorrow. Call your reps. Get out into the street. #densho @denshoproject.bsky.social @jamuseum.bsky.social #jacl #resist #protest #50501protest
