Why Jewish Activists Are on the Front Lines in Mass Protests Against ICE

Twenty-four people have died in federal custody during the Trump administration, six of whom were children. One of these children died in my home state. Democratic representatives condemned the camps, describing people being told to drink out of toilets, crowds packed into small rooms where there isn’t space to sit down, and the continued separation of children from their parents. The collective action in which I took part is about the people I saw detained in an ICE facility in Boston banging on barred windows, holding up signs that read “lockdown,” “help,” and “thank you,” while we stood outside the building. It is about them and the other detainees across the country. We should never forget that. The Jewish people, however, know our history, and bring that history in solidarity.

I can understand how someone with grandparents who survived the horrors of Nazi concentration camps feel especially strongly about Trump's concentration camps. Though people of all backgrounds with decency in them are horrified by the cruel & inhumane treatment of the Trump administration of innocent people.
