Lawmakers in Florida are raising alarm over documents suggesting immigrant children and pregnant women could be detained at ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’
A draft operational plan obtained by the Miami Herald suggests minors could indeed be transported to the controversial site in the Everglades. The 35-page undated document details protocols to “separate minors from unrelated adults” and to provide “snacks and water” to minors, pregnant women and detainees with medical conditions during transport.
“The State of Florida is planning to send pregnant women and children to the ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ detention camp,” wrote State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith on social media. “This is totally un-American. We cannot be silent.”
Yes, it’s a hard needle to thread. My point is that it’s pretty fucked up in my view that it’s considered unfortunate, but maybe “okay”, with some if it’s younger men being sent to such a place and held under such conditions, because, well, it’s men. And that the only thing that might wake up some portion of the people is if women and children go there, and then some glimmer of humanity sparks in them…SMH.
It’s not as if some men might have some preconditions that make them vulnerable under such conditions. Something tells me the monsters running this are not prescreening for any of that, because they are dangerous brown men…
