Cable news people call them “prison camps” or “Trump prison camps,” but look in any dictionary: prisons are where people convicted of crimes are held. As Merriam-Webster notes, a prison is:
“[A]n institution for confinement of persons convicted of serious crimes.”
But what do you call a place where people who’ve committed no criminal offense (immigration violations are civil, not criminal, infractions)? The fine dictionary people at Merriam-Webster note the proper term is “concentration camp”:
“[A] place where large numbers of people (such as prisoners of war, political prisoners, refugees, or the members of an ethnic or religious minority) are detained or confined under armed guard.”
With nationwide injunctions forbidden people could be thrown in without habeous corpus and disappeared and there would be no way to stop them. They could stymie and challenge any court cases filed, they could drag out the proceedings, challenge standing, they could move the person around, and not tell anyone.
With the nationwide injunctions they would only be able to get a week or two grabbing people without cause, or hearings. Now the could keep it up indefinitely, each person having to seek relief themselves, if the administration allows them, and each at the mercy of the district they are in.
That decision was a huge betrayal, and we are at the mercy of the worst people in the world and will suffer irreparable harm before we will get a chance to challenge lawless government action, and our media didn’t see it, or tell us about it when they did, even media I like. Just further goes to show we have all the wrong people in charge.
