DESCRIPTION:Join representatives of several community organizations located
  in or aligned with Little Tokyo on the JANM Plaza to protest the White Ho
 use&rsquo\;s plans to use Fort Sill in Oklahoma as a detention center for 
 immigrant children and Immigration and Customs Enforcement&rsquo\;s detent
 ion practices in general.\n\nWe are demanding an end to the inhumane condi
 tions at ICE facilities\, an end to family separation policies\, and for c
 ompassion and humanitarianism toward all people. All who share concern abo
 ut these issues are invited to participate.\n\nDuring World War&nbsp\;II\,
  more than 700 people of Japanese ancestry were unjustly incarcerated at F
 ort Sill. Earlier\, members of the Apache tribe who had been forcibly remo
 ved from their ancestral lands were incarcerated there. Further\, Fort Sil
 l was a site where Native American children taken from their families were
  placed in boarding school&mdash\;a government attempt to destroy their id
 entity and culture.\n\nThe protest is organized by East West Players\, Jap
 anese American Cultural and Community Center\, Japanese American National 
 Museum\, Kizuna\, Little Tokyo Service Center\, Manzanar Committee\, Nikke
 i for Civil Rights &amp\; Redress\, Nikkei Progressives\, Tuesday Night Pr
 oject\, Tuna Canyon Detention Station Coalition\, Vigilant Love\, and Visu
 al Communications.
