Just checking the DTMan barometer.
I'm not sure if it's a holding station for getting in, or a holding station for being sent home. Or both, depending on circumstances?
I thought it was both/either, depending. They want asylum, they wait there. They get caught crossing, maybe they get sent there? Maybe they get sent home?
You're confusing "concentration camp" with "Nazi concentration camp"
As of July 2019, migrants are "free to leave" U.S. immigration detention centers and return to their countries of origin, at will.
What's True
It's possible, under a policy called "voluntary departure," for a migrant to obtain an immigration judge's permission to pay for their own flight out of the U.S., as an alternative to being deported.
What's False
Migrants in detention facilities are in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and attempting to leave a facility without authorization is a criminal offense. The option of "voluntary departure" is blocked off to many by significant legal and financial barriers, and the entire process is subject to the authority and discretion of immigration officials and courts. Migrants cannot simply "leave at any time."

Apparently AOC (the one who started the whole "concentration camp" analogy) was also confused since she threw in the phrase "never again" when making the comparison.TheCatt wrote: You're confusing "concentration camp" with "Nazi concentration camp"

Also, someone might want to let Antifa know about the softer, gentler definition of "concentration camp", as the dead Antifa terrorist that attacked the ICE facility had a manifesto filled with AOC's talking points. Including use of the term "concentration camp".
