Posts call privately run immigration detention sites 'concentration camps'
Public posts are labeling privately run immigration detention facilities "concentration camps" after reports and coverage describing harsh detainee treatment. Critics point to private contractors such as GEO Group operating ICE facilities and to recent coverage, including Don Lemon's program, that documents oversight and conditions concerns. Commenters explicitly invoke Manzanar and World War II POW camps, citing library catalogs and PBS features to contrast historical internment and prisoner treatment. The comparisons matter because they recast immigration detention as a civil liberties and human rights issue, intensifying scrutiny on private contracting and custodial oversight.
This is the most recent letter from hunger/labor striking prisoners at Delaney Hall ICE facility in Newark, NJ. "We appreciate the support of everyone who is protesting outside the facility. We want you to know that you give us the strength and determination to keep going. Please, DON’T GIVE UP!"

Rebecca E ❌👑24IMO, the only difference between the treatment the prisoners receive at Delaney Hall ICE facility and camps like Auschwitz is there are no ovens at Delaney. There are other ways to murder the "unwanted" which is proven every day at these ICE/DHS facilities of horror & death. I AM SO ANGRY! #SheShed
framplings.bsky.social13If we give up, they will die or be sent to their deaths in rendering countries. If we give up, our democracy and its rule of law will be permanently scarred, as it was with Japanese internment.

Rajani8Someone on the ground is reporting that ice agents are picking up amazon flex drivers at whole foods where he works in West Bloomfield Michigan. He doesn't have social media and I don't know who to share this info with. Anyone in Michigan who can help please? 🙏

Veteran Fighting For Democracy5Americans don't care about ANYONE in prison. Look around. We lock-up millions of Americans every year. Nothing, zip. It's become an acceptable solution to wash people out of our lives. Now Democrats are concerned? I'm sad we didn't make this an issue years ago.
Rolando Garcia2Quick correction on second bullet of page 1. The word is Insalubre from Salubridad. It would translate to Unsanitary conditions. They’re trying to formally raise a Health and Safety issue.
