Ocasio-Cortez falsely claims Trump is operating concentration camps, compares the situation to the Holocaust: “The U.S. is running concentration camps on our southern border and that is exactly what they are. … ‘Never Again’ means something … we need to do something about it” pic.twitter.com/F2MmZ8y2dT

Despite partisanship, it is important for Americans to know that there are no concentration camps on the Southern border. Likening the enforcement of immigration laws to a monstrosity such as the Holocaust is a reach which many individuals can view as offensive.
Cracking Down on Illegal Immigration
The congresswoman’s statements about concentration camps at the Southern border arrived at an interesting time. Last night, President Trump himself also took to social media to share some details regarding immigration. However, unlike Ocasio-Cortez, the president announced additional measures which will follow in order to crack down on illegal immigration.
To be precise, Trump declared that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will commence the deportations of “millions” of illegal immigrants starting next week.
