In WWII, our people were imprisoned here, at the Tule Lake Segregation Center, for being Japanese American and for resisting their incarceration.
Today, we stand with all people whose civil liberties are under attack. xitter.cf/savetulelake/status/10…

Jennifer Nakamoto (CEO of the Nakamoto Group) is scheduled to testify to Congress at 2pm EDT today to defend her company's record of approving dangerous and inhumane conditions in ICE's prisons.
Read our statement and watch for our live-tweeting of the hearing.
#ShameOnNakamoto
ALT “It is appalling that Ms. Nakamoto is invoking our shared history and trauma as Japanese Americans to justify her profit-seeking and to fend off legitimate inquiries into the inhumane treatment of people in ICE custody. We reject Ms. Nakamoto’s statements in the strongest terms. She does not speak for us or for other Japanese Americans,” said Satsuki Ina, Tsuru for Solidarity Steering Committee Co-Chair.
