Dear Editor:
And, I wonder, what Martin Cheek, knows, in anything, of the
internment of German Americans during World War II?

Yes, German Americans, some 11,000 were also interned in the U.S. during World War II. More than 300,000 German Americans were required to register as “Alien Enemies.” Subsequent to this registration they lost their civil liberties and freedom.
Cheek is correct, when an inalienable right of one American citizen is denied, all Americans are denied. Yet, Congress and the Courts of America seem reluctant to address the German American internment experience during World War II.
