Do we call this full-blown Nazism yet or do we wait until the first concentration camp opens on US soil?
That’s why I wrote “on US soil”. US concentration camps have long existed outside the US.
The few concentration camps that have existed on US soil in the past have been closed.
There have been concentration camps for a while now.. Here’s a list of addresses that ICE kindly provided.

She said Schmidt told her immigration agents pressured him to give up his green card. She said he was placed on a mat in a bright room with other people at the airport, with little food or water, suffered sleep deprivation, and was denied access to his medication for anxiety and depression.
“He hardly got anything to drink. And then he wasn’t feeling very well and he collapsed,” said Senior.
He was transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital. He didn’t know it at the time, but he also had influenza.
Other countries need to start issuing advisories against traveling to the USA. And residents of the USA need to understand that it’s not safe for them to try to re-enter their country.
I agree. I know there are tens of thousands of international travelers entering the US daily and he was a single case, but the question remains, why? The article mentions a DUI on his record from a decade ago as well as a marijuana possession charge that was dismissed when legalization passed. So, is that literally it? It’s fucking insane that they are violating his rights like this and fucking torturing him.
This is insane.
smh back in my day we had to send people to Cuba before we tortured them.

That might be a sentence. Needs more “and” though.
