How odd. I see it here: https://nypost.com/2021/01/18/german-quarantine-breakers-to-be-held-in-refugee-camps/ And they reference it here: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/17/germans-keep-refusing-quarantine-could-put-detention-centres/ and here: https://www.welt.de/politik/plus224367844/Quarantaenebrecher-Laender-schaffen-Zentralstellen-zur-Zwangseinweisung.html It also references this tweet which shares the above link: https://twitter.com/JoanaCotar/status/1350746606807744515

While most sources I see just quote those, there was also this one: https://gript.ie/germany-detention-centres-covid-quarantine/ and here: https://metro.co.uk/2021/01/19/germany-covid-rule-breakers-could-be-put-into-quarantine-centres-13930409/

But the vast majority quote the first two articles and use similar language. As for "falling for everything", I am seeing this article on a few different sites, including Washington Examiner, Daily Telegraph, Euro Weekly, and Daily Express. The top 5 google news results for "germany quarantine camps" also all come back to these articles.

The telegraph article starts off by saying "could be put" not "are getting put", which seems more alarmist. I don't read german and the welt paper is not fully translated for me, but it seems to be saying that it was a desired outcome if people are refusing to quarantine.

As most in the US do not get current news for countries in Europe, and now suddenly there are several articles, why would you assume gullibility?
