I've yet to meet a Jew who didn't think it was profoundly offensive to lock kids in penal facilities when they've not committed any crime.
I haven't, either! I just know there are (small-c, right-wing as opposed capital-C, the denomination) conservative Jews out there and I'm sure some of them have splintered on the wrong side of this argument, just because statistical distribution is statistical distribution and people are people.
But everyone I know personally has been more in line with Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg: "Tornillo doesn't have to be Auschwitz—a death camp—for it to be a concentration camp. Analogies don't have to be perfect to be instructive. Here, they help us to see how grave and urgent the situation is."
(also my friend with the second-most-Polish surname of anyone I've ever known is a super enthusiastic camper so I laughed pretty hard at that one even though it's funny ugh-oh, and not really funny ha-ha)
Honestly, that's an appropriate response to To Be or Not to Be.
