A moving editorial published Sunday in The Salt Lake Tribune argues that the U.S. government is holding immigrants ― including children — in concentration camps.

“Our nation is operating concentration camps for refugee children,” the paper’s editorial board wrote. “We need to stop denying that and decide if we are comfortable with that fact. And how we will explain it to our children.”

The editorial was published days after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) received backlash for characterizing the detention centers for immigrants as “concentration camps.”
