All news, from reliable sources, report that the camps, which detain young teenagers, for lengthy periods, are guarded by people, who are not required to pass reasonable background checks. The camp in Homestead, Florida is managed by a corporation that runs the overcrowded facility for profit.

I even managed to track it down from seeing the outside of it on MSNBC. They were so hush hush and secretive. Even the people living next to the "camp" didn't know what was going on behind the gate and a sign of a sun (no names or words). It reminded me of the concentration camps in Germany but the people in Germany could smell the bodies being burned so they did know and lied when caught by the allies.
