Mary Catherine Ford's ancestor Clayton Triggs opened the Manzanar War Relocation Center. She agrees detained migrants are in 'concentration camps.'
A writer whose great-great uncle served as director of a Japanese American concentration camp during World War II just wrote a column in support of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez .
In her piece, Ford brought up the Trump administration lawyer, Sarah Fabian, who made headlines last week for arguing in court that basic toiletries wouldn’t fall under the law requiring “safe and sanitary” conditions for children in detention facilities. The writer noted that Fabian’s argument draws a parallel to “a speech my relative, Clayton Triggs, gave to Japanese Americans.”
Upon hearing the news that the Trump administration planned to detain undocumented immigrant children apprehended at the border at Fort Sill, site of a former Japanese American concentration camp, Ford realized that “the past has returned.” “This was true in 1942 when my family member opened the first concentration camp for Japanese Americans and it is true in 2019 as Trump continues his ‘zero tolerance’ policy of separating brown children from their loved ones and locking them in cages,” she wrote.
