Yes! I think you’ve hit on it. My discomfort with referring to both types of camp with the same words isn’t that the end goal isn’t dehumanisation, but that if you don’t describe them differently, it’s harder to demonstrate how one leads to the other.

BREAKING:
A federal judge just ordered the release of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father from immigration custody — condemning their removal from Minneapolis as unconstitutional.
Judge Fred Biery condemned "the perfidious lust for unbridled power" and "the imposition of cruelty."

The reason this matters is because knowing what a word means *and* knowing what it can mean to some people can help us ensure we’re communicating clearly about our concerns with specific actions.

I wonder if the ‘ethnic cleansing aspect’ is the key part. Some PoW camps are for holding people only (i.e. Polish prisoner of war camps in the UK during WWII) whereas others are clearly aimed at the wholesale removal of the entire people group(s) out of a country, or their destruction.

This is a genuine question, though in print it may not sound it*: how does this differ from say immigration centres in the UK, or prisoner of war camps where the aim was containment rather than destruction?
*I agree what they are doing in the US is heinous, this not supporting that in any way!

Were they able to edit In Came Upon a Midnight Clear that because the latter was out of copyright?
There is genuinely so much good music, older and more modern, that I don’t feel a need to use songs whose overall tone is, well, a bit rubbish.

Still, I loath this song for both it’s over use and its choice of wording, so isn’t one I’d include.
