I want to be very clear about where I stand, because the casual use of words like “Nazi” and “Gestapo” has crossed a line. I am the daughter of an immigrant who never became a U.S. citizen. I support immigration enforcement when it comes to removing criminal offenders. At the same time, I firmly oppose targeting law‑abiding people who came here to work, raise families, and build better lives. Both positions can coexist, and they should. What I cannot accept is the reckless and historically ignorant use of Nazi and Gestapo comparisons every time someone disagrees with an article, a policy, or a headline. My family is Sinti. My mother’s family and my grandparents were persecuted under the Nazi regime. Members of my family were imprisoned in concentration camps and murdered. The Nazis attempted to erase my people from existence. This is not an abstract comparison for me—it is lived history and documented fact. So when I am called a “Nazi” simply for asking people to question inflammatory headlines, verify sources, or distinguish reporting from opinion, it is not just wrong—it is outrageous and deeply offensive. Asking for factual accuracy and due diligence is not extremism. It is responsible citizenship. Using Holocaust language as a political insult trivializes real atrocities and silences meaningful discussion. It replaces facts with emotion and shuts down dialogue rather than advancing it. If there are abuses by government agencies, they should be examined and addressed based on verified evidence, constitutional standards, and the rule of law—not through historically false analogies or personal attacks. My family was killed by Nazis. Why anyone would think I would support them—or use their crimes as a rhetorical weapon—is beyond comprehension. We can demand accountability, defend civil liberties, and still respect history. Those things are not mutually exclusive.
