Summary
Rachel Maddow said on "The Daily Show" that Trump could use large immigration detention sites to imprison non-immigrants, arguing the threat extends beyond migrant enforcement.
A scrapped 10,000-detainee center in Social Circle, Georgia, prompted the discussion after DHS canceled the warehouse plan amid local opposition.
Maddow pointed to proposed facilities holding 5,000 to 14,000 people and said such sites could enable indefinite detention without trial or lawyers.
Jon Stewart argued many immigration violations are civil matters, while Trump allies blasted the segment as a political attack and rejected any conflation of legal immigrants with deportation targets.
