Japanese-American Activist: I Was Incarcerated During WWII. Jailing Migrant Kids Is an "Atrocity"

Description: We speak with Japanese-American psychotherapist Satsuki Ina, a survivor of World War II internment who is now a leading activist against the jailing of migrant and refugee children on the border. Ina was among a group of Japanese-American elders that protested outside the Fort Sill Army post in Oklahoma, where the Trump administration plans to indefinitely detain 1,400 immigrant and refugee children starting next month. Fort Sill was an internment camp for 700 Japanese-American men in 1942. Ina says, “The term 'concentration camp' is a way of describing the reality of what was done to us, and not using the language that the government imposed, distorting the reality of what happened to us.”
