Topeka, Kansas
The claim: 80 acres has been converted into a temporary holding camp.
What it really is: I've taken a look at Topeka using Google maps, and there aren't many places within the city limits that are empty, nor is there any places that look like a holding camp. Plus, consider that the city has a population of over 127,000 people, it would be pretty hard to hide something like that.
El Dorado, Kansas
The claim: Federal prison converted into forced-labor camp, UNICOR industries.
What it really is: There is a near by maximum security prison near by, but it's run by the State of Kansas, not the Federal government.

What it really is: Yes, there is a United States Federal prison there, an until 2005 it was a maximum security prison Today it is a medium security prison with a minimum security satellite prison camp.
This is all publicly known, and does not mean that it is a FEMA camp.
