THEN: Many people living near concentration camps claimed they were unaware of the true nature of these facilities, often believing they were merely labor camps. However, evidence suggests that the German public had some understanding of the brutal conditions and the likelihood of fatality for those sent to these camps. Many witnesses reported seeing the mistreatment of inmates, which indicated the camps were not just educational institutions as some believed. (Wikipedia)
NOW: ‘Nightmarish’: Report exposes medical failures at California ICE detention center. The court-appointed medical review is the first-of-its-kind for an ICE detention center. It resulted from a November class action lawsuit filed by seven people detained at the Mojave Desert facility, who alleged inhumane conditions and medical neglect. (San Francisco Chronicle)
THEN: The Brownshirts, officially known as the Sturmabteilung (SA), were a paramilitary organization associated with the Nazi Party in Germany. They played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power by using violent intimidation against political opponents and protecting Nazi rallies from 1921 until the end of World War II in 1945. (Wikipedia)
NOW: ICE/ Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “Of course, the…criminal drug dealers, the rapists, the murderers, the individuals who have committed heinous acts on the interior of our country and who have terrorized law-abiding American citizens, absolutely, those should be the priority of ICE,” she said. “But that doesn’t mean that the other illegal criminals who entered our nation’s borders are off the table.” (Karoline Leavitt).
History is fact. The evidence is in plain sight, even when the Trump Reich, his state-sponsored propagandists like FOX, Newsmax, and the MAGA Podcasters, and the Republican Majority in Congress pretend otherwise.
The names may change from Concentration Camps to Detention Centers, from Brown Shirts to ICE, from Adolph Hitler to Donald Trump, from German Citizens looking the other way to American citizens looking the other way…BUT there is very little difference between THEN and NOW. Ya gotta wonder how the fuck!
