was following the law and turned in Anne Frank, who was breaking the law. The Gestapo arrested her and her family. 2 months later Anne and her sister died from typhus in a concentration camp.

How the fuck is the United States today any different than that?

One person who was kidnapped from the US has been returned to plead his case. How many more are sitting in concentration camps who were abducted and not returned?

Make no mistake, where these people are being taken are not prisons, prisoners have rights, they are concentration camps.
