Lee said the site does not operate as “civil detention,” arguing it functions like a punitive facility despite housing families.
Because that's not a thing. Taking away someone's freedom is a punishment that can only be enforced through violence.

WHY can't these TERRORISTS just let these UNKNOWN MEN WITH NO BACKGROUND CHECKS have Their WAY with these Children?
Your regular reminder that 6 years ago, the trump dhs lost the Nazi Number of kids
Federal agency says it lost track of 1,488 migrant children
Republicans never care about children unless it's politically expedient (and even then, nothing more than words) or if they can abuse them
This was one of the worst things I've ever seen our government do in my lifetime. Despite the efforts of the Biden administration, almost 1000 kids still have not been reunited with their parents, and it is doubtful they ever will. This was a massive human rights violation, almost certainly pushed by Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller, and this atrocity will need to be addressed at the future American Nuremberg Trials.
Where are these children today?
Here is the best round-up of recent information:
In This Report, You Can: Review data and analyses regarding family separations in 2017 and 2018 (some family separations occurred outside the official zero-tolerance policy);
Track the government’s posture on whether publicity would incite fear and deter migrants from crossing the border;
See how flawed record-keeping led to hundreds of children not being reunified with their parents;
Get a sense of the lack of communication that existed among government agencies, impeding reunification efforts; and
Read how congressional leaders sought accountability and transparency from the administration.
100% they're trafficking kids and selling them
A third of the kids they detained his first term is still missing. There was that bus of immigrant girls that was sent from Texas to New York and disappeared when they were shipping immigrants willy nilly all over the country. Between half and two thirds of detainees this past year don't even have records of their detainment. Thousands of people are still missing from alligator Auschwitz. Which was suspiciously close to a neuralink testing facility.
That's horrifying...
My god this sounds dystopian as fuck, like some fiction cyberpunk novel.
