Florida Builds ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Detention Center for Migrants in Everglades

This FEMA money didn't come from disaster funds.

A Dedicated FEMA Fund Will Pay for 'Alligator Alcatraz' - FactCheck.org

 

The constitution is the law. Find in the constitution where it states that freedom of speech only applies if you were born here. Not that that even matters to this administration. Participating in a demonstration is not against the law. Neither is co opining a school column. The only places I know of where that is a no no is N Korea or Russia. Those are trump buddies so that make sense.
No one would ever go to school here, come here for vacation or do business here if that were the case. I don’t give a crap about other countries, they aren’t mine. We also now know it isn’t just removal, it’s torture and disappearing. Obama deported by due process, the rest were turned away at the border. Tell me the date the Supreme Court intervened with obama’s deportation because he wasn’t giving them due process. You have nothing to stand on. $450m for a tent city in a hurricane prone area tells me all I need to know.

 

The wheels are already coming off the clown car.

"The hastily constructed detention camp in the Everglades that began processing immigrant detainees late this week has already flooded once, may not meet hurricane codes and is not officially approved or funded by the federal government."

"Experts say detainees and staff will face far more common hazards than the swampland terrors gleefully envisioned by state and national Republicans to discourage escapes. Mosquitoes and hurricanes are more likely to harm the expected 3,000-plus detainees and 100-member staff than are alligators and Burmese pythons."

"Some building experts note that the site is in a High-Velocity Hurricane Zone, where local code requires that a building’s entire envelope — including windows, doors and eaves — incorporates lab-tested, wind-resistant design."

“The 110 mile an hour wind design hasn’t existed in Florida since Hurricane Andrew in 1992,” said Anthony Abbate, a professor and director of the MetroLAB in the School of Architecture at Florida Atlantic University. “Nowhere in the state of Florida is 110 acceptable, according to the Florida building code.”

 

Things have changed since the fascists took over.

 

No question that a lot is being achieved now that the fascists are in control. Too bad all the achievements are harmful to our country.

OK. Now what?

 

In the end historians will look upon the gulag that Trump is creating to house undocumented immigrants awaiting deportation the majority of whom have committed no real crimes the same way history looks upon the internment camps created to house Japanese American families in World War II.

 

ordered my shirt today

 

Why are you celebrating the desecration of native American sacred land?

 

In 3 years, I'm going to print a batch of shirts. You can buy one if you want.

It will say; "I voted for Donald Trump because he said he'd deport all the illegal immigrants ...... and all I got was an Alligator Alcatraz T-shirt."

 

What desecration? There’s already an airfield there

 

Maybe it's not in the national news but DeSantis used a state of emergency to take the land. It was owned by the county but is native ancestral land

 

I think if you had read a little more about this exact situation you wouldn't be asking that silly question
