Citation needed.

Citation very much needed. That is not socially acceptable anywhere that I have been.
As for the larger issue... a camp to hold people who are subject to deportation is a "concentration camp" in a literal sense. But since WWII, it is not what is generally understood as a "concentration camp" - there is no mass death, no genocide. The headline is therefore designed to give an impression of "just like the Nazis" when the reality is quite different.
Personally, I consider it within the legitimate bounds of the federal government to deport those who do not have the legal right to be in the country. As for how it is being done... yeah, it's being done in the most stupid, brutal, offensive way possible. I don't deny it, and I don't justify it. But the government has the right to do it, in mass.
Do not read this as me justifying removing the legal right from those who already have it, still less removing citizenship from those that already have it. (Though, if they lied on their citizenship application to get it, I can see even that. Not for crimes, though. Citizens who commit crimes are jailed, not deported.)
So, yes, the situation is grim, and they're crossing red lines that are really wrong, and also the headline is seriously slanted and trying to make this look like a death camp, when it isn't.
