Call it what it is, @nbcnews.com. Concentration camp.

The OED defines a concentration camp as “a camp in which large numbers of people, esp. political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities.”

The proposed centers are so large that some could house as many as 8,000 detainees at once, according to a DHS spreadsheet of more than 20 potential locations that was verified by NBC News. The largest federal prison in the U.S., for example, has roughly 4,000 inmates.
ICE plans to build mega warehouses for immigration detention spark growing concern
Sources at two government contractors told NBC News they were worried that new warehouses — and the large numbers of immigrants who would be housed in them — would present safety problems.

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

We were outraged by Liam, but Diana is a young girl that has been in an ICE prison even longer. The wee girl still is in prison. Be loud! Share! Justice for Diana Crespo Gonzalez!
Today is day 20 (depending on when incarceration countdown begins) of Diana Crespo Gonzales’ incarceration in an ICE prison in Texas. Children are not allowed to legally be detained for more than 20 days.
