Around 200 self-identifying Jewish protestors shut down operations at an Elizabeth, New Jersey, ICE detention center on Monday. According to Common Dreams, 36 activists were arrested during the grassroots-organized Never Again Action. Those arrested were reportedly blocking vehicles from going to the Elizabeth Detention Center.
Chanting “Never again means never again,” and “never again is now” while holding signs denouncing ICE and concentration camps, the group of mostly young people want the world to know that they have not forgotten how apathy and fear can lead to atrocity.
No matter what language you speak or read or understand, “never again” continues to be one of history’s most important lessons.
