Former U.S. president Donald Trump on Friday compared the people jailed on charges that they stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, to the more than 120,000 people of Japanese origin incarcerated on U.S. soil during World War II.

The federal government incarcerated an estimated 120,000 people with Japanese ancestry, including U.S. citizens, following a February 1942 order signed by then-U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt. A 1983 congressional commission concluded the detentions were a result of “racial prejudice, war hysteria and failure of political leadership,” and the U.S. government formally apologized and paid US$20,000 in reparations to each victim five years later.
Trump has maintained that he only encouraged supporters to protest “peacefully.” In a speech on the White House Ellipse that morning, Trump told the crowds to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol. But he also used far more incendiary language when speaking off the cuff. He said “We fight like hell. And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.
