Thrilling to see a (brave) ABC journalist scrutinising Trump’s corruption. Trump’s reaction shows you a nerve has been hit. Too often media shy away from these tough questions because of Trump’s bullying. We should all stand up for journalists willing to be watchdogs!

I have not looked into this properly yet..... But it sounds like he's saying farm workers ICE seized will go back to the farms, but under a financial arrangement where the farmers will "own" them, and be "responsible for them most of the time". Didn't they have a Civil War about this stuff already?
The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.
He says so in this video
