Well, this wins for silliest non-alien theory, with bonus points for the hyperbole of “concentration camp” to describe illegal immigrant detention.

In what way is it "hyperbole"? From the leaks and reporting I've come across it seems like a reasonable description.

It's not labour camps, and not extermination camps, but rather places where people are 'concentrated' while the bureaucracy figures out where to move them next.

If anything it's really weird to present it as having to do with supposedly illicit immigration, since citizens and people with residence permits are vacuumed up as well.

It's almost like these detention centers are holding concentrated amounts of people without due process
