Even when sourced with reputable sources

Concentration camp, definition
That's literally what Guantanamo Bay is. Holding such people without charge or trial, while ignoring hearing Supreme-Court guaranteed habeas corpus petitions for over decade unconstitutionally, on Cuban territory, illegally (Cuba continually tells them they have no legal lease of their land).
Sure, illegal immigrants should be deported. If desirable, and in the case they've egregiously violated American laws, there are legal processes in place so they can go through legitimate court processes. But that camp is used as a place to evade legitimate court processes, and primarily used as a place for political torture of people held without charge or trial.
They've reverted like 20 people
