Description: As ongoing chaos enveloped immigration jails along the southern border last weekend, five Japanese-American elders who are survivors of U.S. internment camps demonstrated 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. It was also one of more than 70 sites where the U.S. government incarcerated about 120,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. We speak with Michael Ishii, co-chair of Tsuru for Solidarity. He helped organize Saturday’s protest against the detention of migrant children at Fort Sill Army Base. Ishii speaks out about the action and his own life story.
