    Even if his visa is expired (which the school he works at says is not true), why would he need to be sent to a for-profit concentration camp? Couldn’t he face the deportation process from home?

        Concentration camp as defined on Wikipedia:

        A concentration camp is a prison or other facility used for the internment of political prisoners or politically targeted demographics, such as members of national or ethnic minority groups, on the grounds of national security, or for exploitation or punishment.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentration_camp

        Moreover, it appears that ICE holds approximately 65,765 people in detention. Most of them have no criminal convictions. To say nothing about the mistreatment and abuse that they face - without due process. Some of them have died.

        What the Trump/Miller administration and ICE are doing is beyond horrible. There is no excuse for this.

        This most certainly qualifies as the use of concentration camps and you are dismissing it with a casual, “Jesus you people are insane” comment while tens of thousands are suffering.

        Except they are. Concentration camps didn’t start out murdering everyone, although the ones ICE are running are killing people.
