Last comment on this: "concentration camp" is an extremely charged term and I get why many people are, in good faith, uncomfortable with its application for Godwin's Law purposes among others. So let's just call them "detention camps" and focus on what's happening in them.

Agree. Chris, reread Orwell's Politics and the English Language.

Thank you, Dr Gorski. I think at this point, Godwin’s Law has been repealed.

I mean, you don't have to appeal Godwin's Law when the tactics mirror those of literal Nazis. Even the Japanese internment of WWII, which was unconscionable, consisted of adequate shelter, food, and Healthcare. We have people dying under our noses.

No one is calling them "extermination camps". They are calling them "concentration camps" using an ample body of previous work extending back to Spanish camps in Cuba and the British camps in the Boer War. (Heck, Dachau didn't have crematoria for its first decade of operations.)

Don't see how detention centers is not also technically honest language.
