.AOC tells it like it is, compares ICE detention centers to concentration camps:
What Cheney and other Republicans seem to be forgetting is that the Holocaust did not start with genocide—it began with internment.
The U.S. has a complicated relationship with internment and deportation. Despite fighting to dismantle the camps in Europe, FDR’s government set up internment camps across the United States for Asian citizens to be held in during World War II; many of these camps were not dismantled until after World War II had ended. More recently, the Obama administration deported an unprecedented three million individuals.
American politicians champion this country as a progressive space that offers the best living conditions for anyone on this planet. They’re wrong. As Ocasio-Cortez notes, this country is losing a battle with an authoritarian and fascist regime—what we said should never happen again is slowly unfolding before us.
