By all criteria, this a concentration camp. Not “concentration camp” as rhetorical inflation, or emotionally manipulative shorthand, or edgy metaphor—but as in: literally.

As in: detention without trial, state control, inhumane living conditions, forced labor, dehumanization, brutal violence, isolation from accountability, psychological torture, and—by every available logical extension—murder.

That last one we can’t yet verify in the strict evidentiary sense, but the circumstances suggest it like smoke suggests fire, and they are already trying to hide their actions and deny what is occurring.

      Fascist, racist ICE agents illegally abducting people and sending them to concentration camps? Hell no I wouldn’t allow her to date one of them.

      I didn’t know the criteria for not being placed in a concentration camp was whether or not I’d approve of them dating my hypothetical daughter.

      Sorry mate, that rules you out - good luck at CECOT.

      Yes because I would raise my daughter to get to know someone before dating them and have a good sense of character, and not assume someone was evil because they were in a prison. It’s also been shown that innocent people have been sent there.
