    the US isn’t literally building camps with the explicit purpose of mass murder and genocide

    This is a complete mischaracterization of how camps began and evolved in nazi germany while also downplaying the horror of ice detention centers and mass deportations to foreign concentration camps. I’m sure you’ve heard of CECOT. Ever heard this quote?

    “We, as the Security Cabinet, will ensure that the penalties are high enough so that none of those who enter CECOT will ever leave walking; they will only be able to leave in a coffin”

    But hey, that’s just coming from the Minister of Justice and Public Security of El Salvador. If tens of thousands of people are condemned to die there, is that not mass murder? Keep in mind, this, from the us government’s perspective, is a service they are paying for. Also, this is only one of many arrangements the us has for mass deportation. Please keep in mind, the nazi camps were certainly not all in Germany.

    Basically, you’re blurring a whole lot of lines here with your comment.
