When Do ‘Detention Centers’ Become ‘Concentration Camps’?

May 6, 2026 Katie Moore, People's World. Educate! Concentration Camps, Detention Centers, Human Rights, ICE, immigrants rights

Are U.S. immigration agents sending migrants and asylum seekers to “detention centers” or “internment camps”? Are they being held in “processing centers” or “concentration camps”? It depends on who you talk to. Sometimes the U.S. government uses bureaucratic and benign terms like “detention centers,” which immigrant advocates argue minimize often harsh conditions. At other times, they use sensational nicknames like the “Speedway Slammer” that suggest their purpose is for punishment. Journalist Andrea Pitzer said in a recent interview with The Marshall Project that each tone serves a purpose for a different audience.

Oklahoma Organizers Share How They Halted An ICE Warehouse

The recent move from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to convert empty or surplus warehouses into large-scale ICE detention centers has produced a new terrain of struggle in the fight against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A notable departure from ICE’s existing detention system, which largely relies on contracts with county sheriff’s departments and privately run prison companies, this initiative is expanding and consolidating the federal government’s capacity to cage immigrants. Proposed ICE warehouses are largely in areas near logistics hubs, many of which are in towns that voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

Fifteen protesters participating in a special Passover seder condemning ICE operations were cuffed in Manhattan on Monday night after the participants occupied the lobby of Palantir’s headquarters and refused to leave. The hours-long event began earlier in the day, around 5 p.m. on April 6, at Union Square for the sixth night of Passover and was held by Jews for Racial & Economic Justice for a “Seder in the Streets.” Attended by Mayor Zohran Mamdani and a host of other elected officials, protesters looked to condemn President Trump’s ongoing immigration crackdown.

Saint Paul, MN — More than 100 people filed into the Minnesota State Capitol on Feb. 26 to protest the prolonged detainment of children in Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities around the country. The crowd, led into the capitol building by the immigrant rights-oriented nonprofit Unidos MN to protest a legislative session, pooled into the second floor outside of the Senate Chamber as an array of speakers read letters sent by children detained in ICE detention centers in Texas aloud. The protest follows a recent trend in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detaining more and more children, the Associated Press reported.

Washington, DC – On Saturday, August 30, the DC Alliance Against Trump Coalition (DCAT) hit the streets again, this time partnering with the Long Live GoGo Foundation to host a march and live GoGo concert on August 30, aimed at fighting the Trump directed occupation of DC. Since Trump’s federalization of DC, starting on August 11, the presence of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), ICE, and National Guard troops has increased their assumed powers over the community with unlawful curfew zones, check points, and kidnappings of residents focused on the immigrant communities. Saturday’s event, dubbed Defend the District, was a powerful and direct anti-Trump response from the DC community, declaring “End the occupation!”

Crackdown On Immigrant Workers At Cheese Factory Triggers Backlash

“This fight is all of labor’s fight,” Kevin Gundlach, president of the South Central Federation of Labor, declared at a “solidarity dinner” for 43 immigrant workers who recently lost their jobs at a Monroe, Wisconsin cheese factory. “Even Wisconsinites who don’t know about the story, should know in a cheesemaking state we should support cheesemakers.” The workers, some of whom labored for more than 20 years at W&W Dairy, were told in August they would have to submit to E-Verify screening and confirm their legal status in order to continue their employment after a new company, Kansas-based Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), bought the cheese plant.

Indigenous Communities From Southern Mexico Refuse To Bow To ICE

August 18, 2025 David Bacon, Truthout. Resist! California, Festivals of Resistance, ICE, immigrants rights, Immigration

In many agricultural fields of the West Coast of the United States, you’re more likely to hear Mixtec or Triqui languages spoken than Spanish. Both are common among the Indigenous people of southern Mexico, some of whom now pick grapes for Napa and Sonoma County’s prestige wineries, or apples in century-old orchards. Without their labor, rural economies in California would collapse. Yet Mixteco and Triqui migrants are being increasingly targeted in immigration raids terrorizing California’s rural communities. In farmworker families, mothers and fathers now give their children phone numbers to call if parents are abducted on the way to or from work. It can be an act of bravery simply to walk to the store, or to drive a car at night.
