"I was part of the first group of protesters arrested with the fledgling Never Again Action movement, which stands opposed to the fleet of policies - such as expedited deportations with minimal hearings for children as young as three - that have recently been established to disenfranchise Latinx and undocumented immigrants in the US. Most of those policies are carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, a government agency that has been around since 2003 but has over the past several years been given more and more power, and has established appalling camps for immigrants across the country which I consider to be concentration camps.
Throughout our childhoods, many of us who were raised within the American Jewish community have had the phrase “Never Again” repeated at us over and over - meaning that we should never allow anything like the Holocaust to happen again. By taking part in these protests, and demanding that ICE be abolished, I believe I am fulfilling that promise".

If those camps are so appalling why are people illegally crossing the border knowing they will be put in these camps ??

Significant difference for Jews is they were leaving Germany to avoid the camps and in the US, they come here. I have worked with the Border Patrol and those caught and believe me, they know what they are getting themselves into. I have been to Panama and Honduras, both times out in the countryside and what people endure there verses the 'bad conditions' at Border Patrol detention facilities, the border facilities are much better.
