A rising comedian sparked controversy after likening U.S. immigration detention centers to concentration camps and claiming that children in ICE custody were being assaulted. The remarks, made during a recent stand‑up set, prompted swift backlash from civil‑rights groups and lawmakers who called the comparison inflammatory and unsubstantiated. ICE officials denied the allegations and warned that the comedian’s statements could undermine public trust in the agency’s oversight.
