“Donald Trump has begun a policy of kidnapping immigrant children from their mothers and fathers and placing them in internment camps. In Texas.”

Families were separated with no plan to reunite them.
Why did the Trump administration separate asylum-seekers from their kids?
“The federal government claims that it separated thousands of migrant kids from their parents for one reason: The parents broke the law by entering the U.S. illegally. But the account of a Guatemalan mother named Sandy, told in this week’s episode of Reveal in partnership with the Texas Tribune, tells a different story.”

A Supreme Court Justice called them Concentration Camps.
Korematsu v. United States
“”MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS: “On the contrary, it is the case of convicting a citizen as a punishment for not submitting to imprisonment in a concentration camp, based on his ancestry, and solely because of his ancestry, without evidence or inquiry concerning his loyalty and good disposition towards the United States. If this be a correct statement of the facts disclosed by this record, and facts of which we take judicial notice, I need hardly labor the conclusion that Constitutional rights have been violated.”

Representative Jordan, You Do Realize that Dachau was built in 1933 and did not install gas chambers until 1942?
Dachau Concentration Camp: History & Overview
” Established in March 1933, the Dachau concentration camp was the first regular concentration camp established by the Nazis in Germany.
In 1942, the crematorium area was constructed next to the main camp. It included the old crematorium and the new crematorium (Barrack X) with a gas chamber. There is no credible evidence that the gas chamber in Barrack X was used to murder human beings. Instead, prisoners underwent “selection”; those who were judged too sick or weak to continue working were sent to the Hartheim “euthanasia” killing center near Linz, Austria. Several thousand Dachau prisoners were murdered at Hartheim. Further, the SS used the firing range and the gallows in the crematoria area as killing sites for prisoners.”
Representative Jordan, do you know who agrees with me that these are Concentration Camps?
