    Didn’t it start out at half that, at $200 million? And havent we been promised it will be privately funded?

      Turn East Wing into the equivalent of the Holocaust Museum Memorial, but for ICE internment camps (with a section dedicated to forced indigenous removal and Japanese internment). Make Americans face what’s been done in their name and with their money.

      EDITED to change the name to the Holocaust Memorial.
