George Takei added his voice to the growing list of celebrities and politicians condemning the Trump administration policy of separating the families of migrants at the border.
In an op-ed for Foreign Policy, the actor wrote that what was happening at the U.S.-Mexico border was worse than what he experienced living at a Japanese internment camp during World War II saying that “even then, they didn’t separate children from families.”
“In one core, horrifying way this is worse. At least during the internment of Japanese-Americans, I and other children were not stripped from our parents. We were not pulled screaming from our mothers’ arms.
