It is outrageous because in both instances we're talking about actual legal citizens being persecuted by their own government for belonging to an ethnic group, not a group of foreign nationals that illegally entered the country and are being held temporarily for criminal prosecution.

That's irrelevant. The root cause of running a concentration camp is unimportant; they're human beings and deserve to be treated with dignity.

As it stands, the US is failing to hold them to the standards we hold even incarcerated prisoners, and they haven't been convicted of any crime. That's outrageous.

Treating some humans under one's jurisdiction as more "human" because they are citizens is a severe anti-pattern.
