That's called a deportation though: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/deportations
til deportations aren't just sending them to a different country, and out-of-the-country camps count as deportating (not sarcasm, I seriouslly didn't know that)
That's because it's bullshit to use the same term for both completely different things
It's a strategy to call it that
Ethnic cleansing
In this case being more verbose makes sense. The current public-knowledge definition doesn't cover this case, so it makes sense to describe exactly what happened.
