Ishii said that the visiting group of about 70 participants will include Crystal City camp survivors and Japanese Americans who plan to travel across the country to participate. He added that the protest, which is being organized locally by the nonprofit organization Grassroots Leadership, will bring together representatives of Latinx, Muslim-American, and Asian-American communities.
"We are proud to stand with the families who survived the shameful chapter of incarceration at Crystal City just as we are proud to stand with the families who are fighting for their freedom in family detention camps today,” Bob Libal, executive director of Grassroots Leadership, said."There are such profound similarities in the rhetoric used to criminalize these communities and even the location of the detention camps in rural south Texas.
