How is that different from the US having fuck knows how many migrants (and children) in concentration camps, or "terrorists" in concentration camps, or slaves in overcrowded prisons, etc etc etc.

> fuck knows how many

People who violated international law.

> slaves in overcrowded prisons

People who violated federal or state law.
