Koji Kudo, a 10-year-old American citizen, was imprisoned due to his Japanese ancestry following Pearl Harbor. His story reflects the unjust incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War II.
The swift execution of Executive Order 9066 in 1942 led to the incarceration of around 120,000 Japanese Americans, many of whom were native-born citizens, showcasing a troubling precedent in American history.
Trump's potential policies could mirror Roosevelt's actions, with threats to deport millions, including U.S. citizens. This raises vital concerns regarding civil rights and the persecution of minorities in America.
The looming threat of mass deportation echoes past injustices, as past American-born citizens of Japanese descent faced incarceration and loss of rights during WWII, warning against repeating such history.
