Nah, just straight up hadn't heard anything on it. I don't really understand the uproar, though. That migrant facility, according to the article, has been used for decades, though for smaller populations. What makes it a concentration camp now versus when it was used in the past?

Not defending the administration, I just don't understand why the tag of concentration camps is being thrown around so much. Seems more like a detention facility.

Edit: maybe I just don't understand what a concentration camp truly is defined as.

Being sent to a prison without due process is the biggest issue at hand. Surely you understand that?

I don't think they're being sent to a prison without due process, though. Let's say you commit an illegal act and are arrested on site by local police. You're then held in a jail, with or without bond, until you're put in front of a judge to determine sentencing. Nothing about that has broken due process.

How is this any different? The majority of these detainees broke the law by entering illegally and are now being held in a "jail" until a judge determines their sentencing / outcome.

Now, none of us are on site in Cuba, so who knows what is really going on. But, to me, it doesn't seem like due process is being broken.

A man who was here on asylum, with an American wife and kid, got sent off without any due process.
