This next link is for Utah's government voter page. This is just an example, but voting and having a voice in who we as Americans put into power can have an impact on what actions are implemented by the government. Voting is a luxury that all American citizens have in this day and age, and it is a tool many others did not have, even as recently as the 1960s.

We learnt from the video, "The Shadow of Hate" about the paranoid, and xenophobic actions of the U.S government during WWII. After the U.S joined the war effort, our government designated internment camps to dump Japanese-Americans into. These people all had lives, businesses, possessions, all things they were forced to give up. The camps were overcrowded, boring, and mentally degrading, leading to sickness, and a number of suicides. The U.S even backtracked on their mistrust of Japanese-Americans, by allowing them to join the military later in the war.
This hypocritical decision shows the xenophobia and bias behind the existence of these camps. It feels as though the government used the war as an excuse to get rid of Japanese-Americans, but when they needed them to die for their country, then they were allowed to leave the camps. I can only imagine what it felt like to be a Japanese-American soldier fighting while your family is locked in a camp back at home.

The Department of Justice announced today that two men, Devan Nathanial Johnson, 28, and Brandon Wayne Killian, 31, pleaded guilty to committing a hate crime in Shawnee, Oklahoma.

On Jan. 18, 2022, a federal grand jury in the Western District of Oklahoma returned a two-count Indictment charging both defendants, who are white, with physically assaulting a Black man - as well as the Black man's white friend - in the parking lot of the Brickhouse Saloon in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The indictment alleges that the assault occurred because of the Black man's race and color.

According to statements made before District Judge Bernard Jones at the plea hearings in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma this week, both defendants admitted to assaulting the Black man in the parking lot of the bar on June 22, 2019, because the man was Black. The assault resulted in bodily injury to the victim.

"These two defendants are being held accountable for subjecting a Black man to a brutal and racially motivated assault," said Assistant Attorney General Kristen Clarke for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division. "Convictions like these make clear that the Department of Justice will continue to investigate and prosecute individuals who violently assault others because of their race or the color of their skin."

"The defendants targeted a Black victim for a brutal attack simply because of the color of his skin," said U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester for the Western District of Oklahoma. "Hate-fueled criminal conduct is morally reprehensible and can never be acceptable in a civilized society. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to combat all hate crimes."

"Violent acts of hate and racism have no place in our community and will not be tolerated," said Special Agent in Charge Edward J. Gray of the FBI Oklahoma City Field Division. "The FBI will continue to use all authority granted to us by federal law to investigate crimes motivated by bias, and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice."

At sentencing, each defendant faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, three years of supervised release and a fine of up to $ 250,000 for the violation. Both defendants will also be ordered to pay restitution to the victim of their crime.

Assistant Attorney General Clarke, U.S. Attorney Troester and Special Agent in Charge Gray made the announcement.

The FBI Oklahoma City Field Office investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Julia Barry for the Western District Oklahoma and Trial Attorney Avner Shapiro of the Civil Rights Division's Criminal Section are prosecuting the case.

In 2019, while attending a South African public school, Nathalie was severely beaten by a fellow student. The reason is that she was elected as her class monitor. Her fellow students beat her because they thought her foreigner was not worthy of being elected to such a position. Even after such an incident, the students still attended school, but she was reluctant to return to her school because of her fears.

Yulian Yeimo was a 12-year-old boy who was beaten to death presumably by Indonesian soldiers before a human rights protest in Paniai, Papua in which 4 other teenagers were shot and killed, also presumably by soldiers. The protest was held to bring awareness to racial hate crimes against Papuans across Indonesia, and only proved the government's bias when those 4 teenagers were killed at the protest, along with dozens of others injured, of whom the government claims were shot by their fellow Papuans. A trial is finally being held 8 years after the tragic massacre.

Jesus Villareal was journeying with two teenage boys, when they were threatened to be killed by Texas Rangers who were prying them to confess to a crime they did not commit. Eventually they were spared by the rangers. In this case they were the lucky ones. Hundreds of deaths have occurred along the Mexican-American border, at the hands of Rangers playing judge, jury, and executioner against both Mexicans and Mexican-Americans.
