Was Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Right to Call Them Concentration Camps?

11. Yes.

People held without due process, without formal charges, denied rights available to them under the law, blocked from getting legal advice, and denied justice by the powers of the state, describe the victims in a concentration camp

Even convicts in the US prison system have an expectation of basic care, humane treatment and legal rights that are being denied immigrants sent to these squalid concentration camps.

Trump's government already admits they are ill prepared and unable to handle the influx of immigrants. The situation was intentionally made worse by forcibly separating families, and making it increasingly more difficult for refugees and asylum seekers to find relief from their plights.

Trump's inherent cruelty demands the horrors of concentration camps to maximize human misery and suffering. He has always said that the brutal conditions for children and families were intended to serve as a "deterent" to other migrants. That is not how any modern day prison system is run.
