🧵THREAD: Yesterday fmr nat. security advisor @AmbJohnBolton’s book was released, claiming Trump told Chinese President Jinping to continue building concentration camps for Uyghurs.

It's our understanding that Trump’s @DHSgov also has aided India in expanding camps for Muslims.
This isn't the 1st time the U.S. has exported detention abroad.

The U.S. has funneled money & direct support to Mexico for detention through Programa Frontera Sur (see below). As the U.S. strengthens relations w/ India, India is expanding detention with little public oversight.
On March 25th, Freedom for Immigrants submitted a FOIA to @DHSgov @ICEgov @DHSOIG and #CRCL for any communications or transactions between DHS or DHS component agencies with India concerning India’s mass detention camps for Muslims.

After coming back from my internship at United We Dream, my friend texted me that both Senator Mitch McConnell and Trump cabinet member Elaine L. Chao were present on campus.
My parents are Mexican immigrants, and I was infuriated that a man who blocked the Dream Act and a Trump cabinet official were invited to my campus. As a result, my friends quickly mobilized and went to the event that was held inside Copley Formal.
