Actor George Takei said Sunday he believes the Trump administrations practice of separating migrant families at the border represents a new low in American history.
Takei, who was detained with his family during World War II at Japanese internment camps, said on CNNs Reliable Sources that he fears history is repeating itself.
It is repeating itself, but it has gone to a new low with Donald Trump. When we were incarcerated, our families were intact. My parents were with me, he said.
But in this case, its come to a chilling low where babies are torn away from their mothers and placed in separate internment camps, he added.
