Jewish protesters block entrance to Trump administration's 'concentration camps' for migrants
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)
More than 30 Jewish protesters were arrested outside a US detention centre holding undocumented migrants, which they likened to a concentration camp.
Those arrested were among hundreds of protesters, mostly young people, who gathered outside the Elizabeth Detention Centre in New Jersey on Sunday to demand the government close the camps.
The protesters held signs reading Never again means close the camps and chanted: Hey hey, ho ho, racist ICE has got to go, as they blocked the road leading to the centre.
It comes after Donald Trump promised to begin deporting millions of people living in the US illegally. Writing on Twitter last week, he said the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) would begin removals this week.
Mr Trump campaigned heavily on immigration during his 2016 presidential bid, and is expected to use similar tactics to fire up support among his base ahead of next years election.

I dislike the casual use of concentration camps, but I am glad people are speaking up and making waves. Of course, the Jewish community has a long fucking history of this type of activism, though it is often overlooked. Hopefully, this won't result in another Pittsburgh.
