How is "ICE is running concentration camps" hyperbole if all parts of the sentence are literally true?

If ICE could be trusted to care for those in its care [1] or respect the legal rights of immigrants [2] then, maybe it would be unfair. How many children need to die in custody before "concentration camp" stops being hyperbolic?

This was clearly addressed in the comment you originally responded to:

> According to your definition, a concentration camp is an "internment centre for political prisoners and members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment.."

> People of certain minority groups aren't being rounded up. Illegal immigrants are being rounded up, regardless of race or nationality.
