Leave it to the New York Times, the "paper of record", to take these important initial steps to legitimize the world's most horrid human rights abuses.

Is it okay to make money off prisons and concentration camps?

No.

The argument is that ICE can always find some rich BlackRock-esque real estate holder that doesn't give af to host the camp instead if the asker terminates the lease, thus from a utilitarian perspective it's probably more useful to hold the lease and use the money to lobby against ICE.
