(15,156 posts)When Stephen Miller convinces Trump his bloodthirsty MAGA hordes demand even more cruelty, hispanic immigrants will be rounded up en masse, sent to concentration camps like Alligator Auschwitz and exterminated.

(166,210 posts)trump and DeathSantis have built a true concentration camp and trump is "joking" about feeding detainees to alligators. This new concentration camp scares me. There are several good comparisons of the Auschwitz camp and living facilities compared to this facility

I am former member of the board of my 2400 family temple and have got to listen a good number of holocaust survivors over the years. trump/DeathSantis' new facility is a concentration camp where it is likely that normal law abiding detainees may end up (over 60% of the ICE detainees have no criminal record).
This facility is not Auschwitz but could be just the beginning

(166,210 posts)This is a poorly constructed concentration camp that floods in normal rain. If a hurricane hits this area, the death toll will be really sad.
New video showed a "garden-variety South Florida summer rainstorm" flooding tents and drowning out Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) as he touted the "Alligator Alcatrez" detention facility he claimed was ready to house deportees, according to The Miami Herald.

Rain began shortly after President Donald Trump finished up his tour of the Everglades facility that the White House claimed needed little security due to pythons and alligators surrounding it, the report said.
"The water seeped into the site the one that earlier in day the states top emergency chief had boasted was ready to withstand the winds of a 'high-end' Category 2 hurricane and streamed all over electrical cables on the floor," wrote reporters Syra Ortiz Blanes, Ana Ceballos, and Alex Harris.
They quoted Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, as saying, For those people that dont think were taking that into consideration. This is Florida, by the way. We have a hurricane plan.
But The Herald reported "that at one point the roof was shaking as the rain pounded down, drowning out Gov. Ron DeSantis voice as he spoke to reporters."
Spectrum News reporter Jason Delgado posted video of the flooding, and of DeSantis trying to talk over the cacophony.

(166,210 posts)The immigrant detention center is underwater within a day of opening.
The Miami Herald reports: âRainfall seeped through the edges of the facility as the roofs and walls trembled. Drips leaked from above a door frame. The water spread under poles hoisting the Florida and U.S. flags.â

Florida officials have assured the public that the facility, which will cost an estimated $450 million per year to operate, was built to withstand a Category 2 hurricane (though the Naples Daily News notes that winds of recent hurricanes in the area have significantly exceeded Category 2 levels).
A report by the Miami Herald further casts into doubt official claims about the facilitys durability. According to the Herald, a garden-variety South Florida summer rainstorm on Tuesday afternoonof about an inch-and-a-half of raincaused flooding in the facility.
