"They kidnapped you, put you in a foreign country, and then said you’re illegal aliens." 💔
During WWII, over 2,200 Japanese Latin Americans were abducted from their homes, stripped of their documents, and brought to U.S. internment camps to be used as hostages in prisoner exchanges.
When the war ended, the nightmare didn't stop—the U.S. government labeled them "illegal aliens" and tried to deport them, while their home countries refused to take them back.
In Season 3, Episode 7 of Japanese America, we dive deep into the harrowing oral histories of the Naganuma Brothers (Jimmy, George, and Kazumu) and their family's multi-decade fight for legal status, dignity, and Redress.
