Florida Democrats inspect ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ in the midst of flooding problems

Several Democratic legislators will visit “Alligator Alcatraz”, a new illegal immigrant The detention center is built near the Everglades and the great national Cypress reserve in Florida on Thursday.

The “official visit of the legislative site” is in response to the fact that civil servants claim to be “a series of deeply disturbing developments at the Immigrants Detention Center managed by the State”, according to a press release.

The senator of the state of Florida, Shevrin Jones, and Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith will be joined by representatives of the Anna Eskamani state, Angie Nixon and Michele Rayner.

“On the eve of America’s independence day, these democratic politicians choose to defend illegal criminal foreigners on American citizens,” American citizens told Fox News. “They should stop staging political waterfalls for 15 minutes of glory and start working with President Trump and secretary Noem to ensure the safety of the Americans. If these legislators want a visit to the Alligator Alcatraz, they will have to contact the Florida Department of State.”

The visit comes a few days after President Donald Trump visited the state’s site alongside the Florida governor, Ron Desantis, and internal security secretary Kristi Noem.

Democrats claimed that illegal immigrants were transferred to the detention center on Wednesday evening when the site was “apparently” flooded due to the rain.

They said that the rain, which rolled in less than a week after the opening of the airport previously unoccupied, opened its doors to illegal immigrants, “exacerbates (ED) concerns about security and emergency preparation in an already volatile environment,” said the press release.

“We exercise our legal authority as states legislators to inspect this distant installation and funded by taxpayers at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport,” the legislators wrote in a joint press release. “It is not a federal project – it is fully funded, exploited and approved by the state of Florida under Governor Desantis. And what is happening here is not American.

“The Alligator Alcatraz represents a cars’ makeshift detention camp, rooted in a payment program of $ 450 million corrupt and without bicycles to enrich GOP donors under the pretension of the border application.”

The property of 30 square miles will house 5,000 ice prisoners and is kept by alligators and pythons.

Trump officials announced on Tuesday that the project had been approved and Crews started working on the transformation on Monday.

“What we are witnessing does not concern security or problem solving – it is a inhuman political theater which endangers real people,” the Democrats wrote in the press release. “Extreme heat, flood reports, structural problems, environmental threats and human rights violations require immediate surveillance. As legislators, we have both legal and moral responsibility to inspect this site, ask for answers and expose this abuse before becoming the national plan.

“Much of this is also a distraction of the daily problems that all the Floridians face, such as the affordability of housing and the real estate insurance crisis,” they added. “Desantis should focus on solving these problems, not creating even more chaos.”

The inspection occurs two months after the mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka, was arrested in an American detention center for immigration and customs application (ICE) where three members of the Congress also stormed the establishment, demanding that they be authorized to make a “surveillance visit”.

While Baraka was arrested for intrusion, he was released a few hours later and accusations were abandoned.

In addition to the legislative visit, several environmental groups filed a federal complaint on Friday claiming that those responsible should suspend construction in order to allow time to assess the potential ecological impacts of renovations.

Department of Internal Security Deputy Secretary Tricia McLaughlin previously declared to Fox News Digital a “lazy” trial, filed by friends of the Everglades and at the Center for Biological Diversity in the southern district of Florida, “ignores the fact that this land has already been developed for a decade.”
