Liberals use Holocaust Remembrance Day to protest ICE deportations

They also claimed they will “present Homeland Security head John Kelly with the Adolf ICEman Award (Adolf Eichmann was in charge of deportations to Nazi concentration camps)” and also “present Justice Dept head Jeff Sessions with the Joseph Goebbels (Nazi propagandist) Award for writing about immigrants as ‘violent… depraved… filth.'”

The event page also encourages many people to wear clothing featuring the word “NO!” including “people everywhere who stand with the Muslims, the Mexicans, the refugees, the immigrants from everywhere that have been vilified and targeted by the Trump/Pence regime in ways that echo the demonization of Jews and other groups in Nazi Germany,” people “who detest white supremacy, misogyny, homophobia, or xenophobia and do not want to see a repeat of “make Germany whole again” and “all who despise and fear the Trump regime and want to see it driven out.”

The “NO!” banner was chosen specifically because “In Germany, Jews were forced to wear the yellow Star of David, political prisoners the red triangle, and homosexuals the pink triangle” leading them to wear the NO! to symbolize “opposition to the Trump/Pence regime and its efforts to brand any new group of people as ‘undesirable.’”

Refuse Fascism most notably took responsibility for helping to shut down an event in February at U.C. Berkeley featuring Milo Yiannopoulos, who claimed he was “consciously spearheading the Nazification of the American University.” An investigation by the Daily Caller found that the organization took funding from George Soros’s Alliance for Global Justice.

In an interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight, the group’s founder, Sunsara Taylor, claimed that, “We need to recognize that [Trump] has to be driven from office through mass political resistance,” using tactics of “shock, awe, violence, and periods of normalization.”

On the group’s Twitter page, they posted pictures of the demonstration which featured people wearing orange jumpsuits with “ICE Detainee” signs, and a man holding a sign comparing a picture of prisoners at Auschwitz with people held at, what they claim to be, a U.S. immigration detention center.

It’s not clear how many people showed up to their event.
