Mother Jones magazine published an article on March18, 2025, written by Isabela Dias, entitled “The US Used the Alien Enemies Act to Detain Their Families. Now, They are Watching History Repeat.” Featuring the experiences of Heidi Gurcke Donald, who was brought with her family to the U.S. from Latin America, then interned at the Crystal City, Texas Internment Camp for over a year, the article also details President Trumps’ current invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deal with immigration issues, although the act is only meant to be used in wartime. Conrad Caspari, whose father was detained at the Tuna Canyon Detention Station, and Russell Endo, a researcher whose grandfather was also detained there, are also featured.
