On this day in 1988, the Civil Liberties Act was signed into law—issuing a formal apology and reparations to Japanese Americans unjustly incarcerated during WWII. Yet nearly 40 years later, our government is once again incarcerating individuals without due process.

Curious - what 'missing' due process? For an individual who travels legally to the US; and then refuses to leave, what facts are in dispute, that need due process adjudication?

Note, @mashbooq.bsky.social is correct on occasion here, for #2. Specifically trespasser Cynthia Olivera was willing to leave, but ICE force-booted her. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

My post had 2 facts. 1. They traveled (not born) to the USA. 2. They refuse to leave. If #2 is 'wrong'; and they're willing to leave, then no due-process is necessary, regardless. ...

It didn't just happen out of the goodwill of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. Congress. It was the result of a massive community-wide effort by the Japanese American community and key African American allies. And it wasn't just an apology. Reparations were won. encyclopedia.densho.org/National_Coa...

The lessons of history are worthless if we allow the same injustices to happen again. An attack on one community is an attack on all of us. Now is the time to show up, stand together, and speak out.

Well said. Now, what are you and the Dem leadership willing to do about it? Words and photo ops will never be enough. Some of you must be willing to face arrest in the pursuit of justice. Never again means never again

Oregon democrat in Congress just gutted the Constitution voting with Trump's first law. You need to help primary out #JanelleBynum and all traitors who took the oath. #LakenRileyAct #Nov2026 docs.google.com/document/d/1...
