Extracting rent is exploitation, not consumption, so you can't apply the "no ethical consumption" paradigm to it
I'm even willing to steelman this into no ethical consumption on the grounds of whether you take other peoples money directly or via their exploitation, as with many consumption purchases, doesn't matter but then it still falls apart because for the no ethical consumption paradigm to work it needs some, if nebolous, boundaries and renting out the concentration camp light is indubitably past that.
It's fine to buy the $10 gildan t-shirt, you gotta have clothes, it's how the world works. If there's a second hand store there, maybe hit that up if you can, but it's unreasonable to expect you to go all barrels and suspenders here. Researching minute production line details to figure out where they draw the line of ethical production, be it living wages for the seamsters and don't ask where the cotton comes from, whether it's just straight up grift plastered in 5 different freely purchaseable eco-ethical-labels or whatever is unreasonable. Hell, and bear with me as I steelman this, maybe you need some sort of passive income unless you plan to die at work and that is how the world works. But that'd be like an apartment you rent out, not the concentration camp. No ethical consumption under capitalism can't reasonably include buying the 700ft yacht that runs exclusively on whale oil because you like boating.
it's unreasonable to expect you to go all barrels and suspenders here.
Barrels and suspenders are also produced through exploitation of the global proletariat; fig leaves or nothin'!
"The Ethicist"
Concentration camp entrepreneurs are a thing now, huh?
Yup. Literally how Oscar Schindler was able to smuggle people out of concentration camps. He was originally an industrialist looking to make easy money by using slave labor. It was only when he was confronted with reality that he began saving people.
Many nazis also found themselves in Schindler's position, except they decided "Somebody has to make money! It might as well be me...."

You can’t unilaterally break the lease.
What bullshit. Of course they can terminate the lease. Every lease agreement has a provision about illegal activity. Hate to break it to you, but if your landlord catches you running a meth lab in the unit, they are going to evict you. Or hell, more appropriate here, if you're caught by police using the apartment as a holding area for your human trafficking network, then your landlord can legally evict you.
ICE is flagrantly violating the law, and the highest law of the land, the US Constitution. They're using the rental property for illegal activities. Any landlord is perfectly within their rights to begin immediate eviction proceedings against any ICE property. Evict them for violating the terms of the lease that require them to not use the property for illegal activities.

They pay for NYT subscriptions. They have a severe case of liberalism - I'm afraid it's terminal.
Gulag. All of them.
Is it okay for me to exploit my fellow man at any cost solely to make some additional profit? This expert says yes
I mean, if you're exploiting ICE ...
Nobody at ICE is my fellow man
