I wonder what label will be applied to rounding up people and forcing them to labor? Particularly the minorities?

[ericfrenkiel]

The label you are looking for is “duly convicted party,” per the 13th Amendment:

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”

If you can criminalize their existence, then I suppose it's off to the gulag with them.

We’ve tried the “round up undesirables and put them in work camps.” Work didn’t make them free and it didn’t get a standing ovation overall.

"Arbeit macht frei" has a storied history to say the least.
