On 5 June 2018 a Facebook user shared a text-based post about Immigration and Customs Enforcement: The allusion to the Holocaust was implied due to the large and recognizable role freight cars played in transporting Jewish detainees to concentration camps in Nazi Germany: We were unable to find any additional detail about the claim in the post's original thread, such as who witnessed the purported use of freight trains to transport minor detainees, where the purported incident occurred, or any other identifying information. It should be noted that the events of the Holocaust during the late 1930s and early 1940s took place during a time in which railways were the most comprehensive mode of transportation available to the Third Reich. In 2018, buses or other forms of ground conveyance seemed likelier choices for ICE to use to transport detainees. In a response to our query, ICE's public affairs office sent us the following reply via e-mail: We contacted the author of the original post for any information about ICE's purported use of freight cars or trains. We have not yet received a response.
