The article critiques Florida Governor Ron DeSantis's establishment of a tent-based detention camp for migrants in the Everglades, referred to as 'Alligator Alcatraz.' This facility, which resembles concentration camps, will house 3,000 detainees at a cost of $450 million annually, funded by FEMA. Criticism arises regarding the conditions, which lack air conditioning and place detainees in an environment infested with mosquitoes and wildlife. The decision is seen as politically motivated, with Republicans using it to bolster their fundraising while ignoring the ethical implications of such a harsh approach to immigration.
The lawmakers' goal is not merely confinement but suffering...these prisoners will be in mosquito-infested swampland surrounded by alligators and pythons.
Republicans are bragging about their cruel ingenuity, and using it as a fundraising tool.
The camp, without air-conditioning, is expected to open this week, as temperatures top 100 degrees.
Progressive Florida Representative Maxwell Frost has denounced it as a 'cruel spectacle.'
