Rep. Colleen Hanabusa asks Ryan Zinke about grant funding for institutions that provide education on Japanese internment camps during World War II.
Ryan Zinke starts his response by saying “Oh, konnichiwa.”

END THE ILLEGAL DETENTION OF ASYLUM SEEKERS
action.aclu.org/petition/end-illegal-detention-asylum-seekers
The ACLU has filed a class action lawsuit against the Trump administration’s cruel and unconstitutional practice of locking up asylum seekers without due process. The nine plaintiffs in the case are all fleeing persecution, torture, or death in their countries of origin. They passed government screenings and were found to have strong claims for asylum which should be heard in court. But against all standards of decency – and constitutionality – Trump has locked them up. Indefinitely.
The detention of asylum seekers is not only cruel and wasteful – it’s illegal. It violates the Constitution, U.S. law, international law, and the Department of Homeland Security’s own written policy. Yet again, the Trump administration has crossed the line in effort to push its hateful, anti-immigrant agenda.
