American concentration camps

Looks like we've already set them up! Sweet, sweet fascism.

And it would really just be too much bother to let the UN visit them and check the conditions. (Which of course even the Nazis did at Tereseinstadt.)

Orcinus' post "Euphamisms" points out that they're not concentration camps, however. They're "family residential centers"... in which there is a double razor wire with death strip between, and the kids there get one hour of education and one hour of indoor exercise a day. Digby comments on the conditions inside.

And did they mention that these are privatized prisons run by KBR and CCA? Yes, they did. And Latina Lista has more info on that angle.
