Japanese Americans Use Day Of Remembrance To Protest ICE

(Portland, OR) -- Japanese Americans in Portland are marking the Day of Remembrance by protesting the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Dozens of demonstrators gathered at Elizabeth Caruthers Park yesterday for a protest and march titled "Day of Remembrance Rally to Resist ICE." Organizers highlighted the similarities between the mass incarcerations of Japanese Americans during World War II and the Trump administration's current actions against immigrants. Last Thursday marked 84 years since President Roosevelt signed the executive order forcing Japanese Americans out of their homes and into internment camps.
