But does the phrase internment camp actually bring to mind abuses such as denying children hygiene supplies such as toothbrushes or basic necessities like blankets in an American reader? The separation of families? The disappearance of children?

If internment camp does not convey that then I think using a technically correct term such as concentration camp to ensure that people pay attention to these abuses is not just technically correct it actually conveys that this is more than "just" an internment camp.

If Americans do generally associate internment camp with that then fair enough call them internment camps in general conversation.

I’m not arguing for the use of the term “internment camp”. I am arguing against the use of the term “concentration camp”.
