We have thousands of brown people in camps along the border, in brutal conditions, without access to healthcare(unless you count forced sterilizations as healthcare). Do you consider those to be apples as well?

That forced sterilization claim was entirely debunked and was misleading to start with:

https://www.snopes.com/ap/2020/09/18/more-migrant-women-say-...

And 70% of those people in those camps are released within 30 days, often times within one week back to their country of origin (or given asylum).

Why are they in camps along the border? Why are the Uighur? Did the "brown people" break any laws? Did the Uighurs?

Are the "brown people" in camps along the border a single, ethnic minority? Are all "brown people" in the country subject to arrest and under surveillance just for being "brown"?

Well, yeah. People _are_ subject to arrest and surveillance for being brown/black in the US.

Not really more surveillance than anyone else. And the discrimination and mistreatment for people in the US is bad but nothing compared to camps.
