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.

    They are concentration camps whether you agree with them or not. Sounds like you are into them though so that’s weird.

          You are spot on! Why are people being sent to a prison outside of the country without any trial or due process? That is to say that the United States and its administration is at fault not El Salvador.

          How is the Salvador, 1/4 the size of South Carolina, supposed to stand up to a command from the United States? Think about that. You have to realize how much influence and power the United States has had over the rest of the continent, they have played this game for decades.

          I am sure if the United States says we need them back, El Salvador will release them no questions asked. We cannot sit here and blame the people on the other side when the ones in the same turf are calling the shots.
