A two-minute video compiled by the War on Fear channel about the Chinese government's treatment of Uyghurs in Xinjiang. It includes footage of detainees being moved onto trains.

Why Hacker News points people here: HN commenters cite it as footage evidence of detainee transport in Xinjiang during threads about the camps and forced labor.

Except they aren't. No group is being concentrated for being members of religious, political, or ethnic groups. The people in ICE detention facilities are there having been arrested for crossing the border illegally and awaiting a hearing in which a judge reviews their case usually to determine if their refuge claims are valid. By your standard jails and prisons would be concentration camps, which is also ludicrous. If you want talk about concentration camps then I would direct to the crimes being committed against Uyghur's: this video
