The trump Racist's Cages



Now there are reports of no adequate toilet facilities and people stewing in their own shit:



Detainees at a remote immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades say there’s no water for bathing, bright lights that never turn off, and massive mosquitoes everywhere, according to multiple news reports.

The detention site, which Republicans have dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” was hastily constructed in recent weeks and is touted by the Trump administration as a hyper-secure facility surrounded by alligators and snakes.

Reports from detainees and their family members detail a facility with abysmal living conditions and little access to counsel.

“There’s over 400 people here. There’s no water to take a bath, it’s been four days since I’ve taken a bath,” Leamsy La Figura, a Cuban musician and detainee who faces charges of aggravated assault, told CBS News Miami.

Multiple women similarly told The Miami Herald that their husbands, who are detainees at the facility, couldn’t shower for multiple days. Two women told the publication that there wasn’t water to flush the toilets when their husbands first arrived.

“The condition they’re going through, they’re horrible,” Eveling Ortiz, the girlfriend of a detainee named Vladimir Miranda, told NBC 6 South Florida. “They don’t have water, they can’t use the bathroom properly. They’re not taking a bath.”

I fear I am too old to see TSF get his due. Although, if there is a hereafter, I might be able to watch him meet Beelzebub.
