Source and context
Original video
Tim Miller’s August 13 Bulwark video on the Hashemi–Tahmasebi family (opens in a new tab)Opening sentence of the original 2:01 video
About this source
Original Bulwark video and transcript. Miller compares the family’s detention to internment and urges viewers to contact representatives. The comparison and asserted illegality are his positions, not judicial findings. Automated captions misrender Tahmasebi’s name; the transcript is not a reliable spelling source.
Before the quotation
Miller introduced Tahmasebi’s account in an original two-minute Bulwark video.
After the quotation
His internment comparison and assertions of illegality are his characterizations, not court findings. This predates, and does not replace, his September 8 essay.
