Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump dances at a campaign event in Detroit on Friday. Former U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that his supporters charged and imprisoned in connection with the Jan 6, 2021, riot at the Capitol have been treated like Japanese Americans who were incarcerated during World War II. Nobody's ever been treated like this," Trump said, adding, "Nobody's ever -- maybe the Japanese during the Second World War, frankly." The Republican presidential nominee made the remarks in a live interview with pro-Trump radio host Dan Bongino. The federal government detained them on suspicion that they could spy for Japan or sabotage the war effort.
