They're fundamentally different from "concentration camps" though.
From Encyclopedia Britannica's article: "[Concentration camps] are also to be distinguished from refugee camps or detention and relocation centres for the temporary accommodation of large numbers of displaced persons."
People willfully breaking US law are being detained so they cannot escape further into the country. It's that simple. People cannot redefine words just to suit their political or ideological narrative.
This is simply another manufactured crisis pushed by the media and opponents of President Trump and his administration.
Where was the widespread outrage when President Obama and previous presidents detained people illegally crossing into the country? There was much less, which tells us that when people's minds are unobscured by their opposition to the Trump administration, they are able to recognize the necessity of detention centers for illegal border crossers.
People can clearly see the hypocrisy of this selective outrage. They are not buying what the outrage merchants are trying to peddle this week.
It's a list of concentration and internment camps. I'm not sure how it's much different than any juvie jail throughout the US, but it's just a political move that happens to fit with a certain narrative.

Clean, pure, informational; the opposite of "7 reasons $politician hates America".
Honestly when a group like wikipedia makes a move like this it just undermines my trust in them.
Then again it's not unreasonable to look at every information source with narrowed eyes.
Vice, (who wrote the article) is the one being "political".
