What is this?

Посмотрите видео. Что бы вы ни думали о нелегальных иммигрантах, Трампе... what the hell is this? Возможно, есть какое-то объяснение, позволяющее утверждать, что то, что говорит представитель администрации, нормально, но я не вижу такого объяснения.

No, it's not.

United States District Judge Dolly Gee, who considered hundreds of declarations from minors and their parents, ultimately ruled that CBP was violating the Flores Agreement. In 2017, during the Trump administration, she found that CBP failed to provide adequate food and water to minors, that it did not maintain the facilities at adequate temperatures, and that it deprived the minors of sleep by confining them on concrete floors under bright lights. Gee also found that CBP’s obligation to provide “safe and sanitary” conditions included providing soap, dry towels, showers, toothbrushes, and dry clothes. Gee ultimately ordered CBP to appoint a monitor to bring its facilities into compliance with the Flores Agreement.

Интересна судьба судьи Dolly Gee.



В 1999 в Вашингтоне открылся монумент памяти американцев японского происхождения, интернированных во время второй мировой. Одна из надписей на памятнике: "The lessons learned must remain as a grave reminder of what we must not allow to happen again to any group."

В том же году Билл Клинтон учредил "President’s Advisory Commission on Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders" и назначил председателем комиссии министра торговли Норма Минету, который был интернирован с родителями в лагерь во время войны. Минета продолжил служить министром в кабинете Буша, но азиатская комиссия при президенте ушла на второй план. Обама возродил ее новым указом в 2009: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/remarks-president-aapi-initiative-executive-order-signing-and-diwali-event
16 из 20 членов комиссии ушли в отставку в 2017 в знак протеста против политики Трампа.

В 2000 Клинтон использовал выступление на тему поддержки американцев азиатского происхождения, чтобы агитировать за Долли Джи, которую он номинировал на пост федерального судьи.

I also want to say that just as we are enhanced when we tap the strengths of all Americans, we are diminished when any American is targeted unfairly because of his or her heritage. Stereotyping, discrimination, racism have no place. And if we can overcome it, America has no limit to what we can achieve. <...>
But we still have too many nominees who have waited too long.
One of them is a woman named Dolly Gee. I met with her yesterday; I'm going to embarrass her a little bit now. I nominated her for the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. She has some good news in her life: She got married last weekend. The bad news is she's supposed to be on her honeymoon. [Laughter] The worst news is her husband is on her honeymoon—[laughter]—in London. But because she wanted to be here with you, she sent him there without her. [Laughter] And I think every one of you should take it as a personal responsibility to try to persuade the Senate to confirm her.
Dolly, stand up there. [Applause]

Номинация была заблокирована республиканским Сенатом, а вскоре избранный Буш назначил на ту же вакансию другого судью (белого мужчину). Судья Долли Джи дождалась нового назначения от Обамы в 2009.

Спасибо. Очень интересно.

Мне кажется, у интернированых японоамериканцев все же были вода и мыло. Где то читал даже, что многие из них остались в этих "лагерях" после войны, и жили счастливо. Как раз в Арканзасе, кажется.

Лагеря были закрыты в ноябре 1945. Из Арканзаса почти все уехали.

On February 13, 1943, the Arkansas state legislature passed the Alien Land Act “to prohibit any Japanese, citizen or alien, from purchasing or owning land in Arkansas.” This act was later ruled unconstitutional, and after the camps closed, several families remained in Arkansas, though all but one (that of Sam Yada) left within a year’s time to escape the system of peonage that was common for agricultural workers. Governor Adkins was particularly opposed to letting Japanese Americans attend college within the state, fearing that allowing such would pave the way to the integration of higher education in Arkansas.
