You already knew that all these people were just as bad as you thought. But praise be to the NYT for getting the receipts. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/06/us/politics/family-separation-border-immigration-jeff-sessions-rod-rosenstein.html

When I called these sites concentration camps right out of the gate, it was because they had key aspects of prior systems: removal of a targeted population from society, public brutalization of that group for political gain, and mass detention as a tool to abuse untried civilians

It was clear that they fit the pattern that I'd written about in my book, which covered more than a century of camps. But I think it was hard for many Americans to imagine that high-level US government officials would deliberately act with such evil intentions.
