Heads up about the felon's mass detention center in the Everglades of Florida. [View all]

Immigrant advocates said the move creates a whole new form of detention outside the scope of the federal government.
Florida is building a detention facility for migrants nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” turning an airfield in the Everglades into the newest — and scariest-sounding — holding center designed to help the Trump administration carry out its immigration crackdown.
The remote facility, composed of large tents, and other planned facilities will cost the state around $450 million a year to run, but Florida can request some reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
Florida’s attorney general, James Uthmeier, a Trump ally who has pushed to build the detention center in the Everglades, has said the state will not need to invest much in security because the area is surrounded by dangerous wildlife, including alligators and pythons. A spokesperson for the attorney general said work on the new facility started on Monday morning...
“I’m proud to help support President Trump and Secretary Noem in their mission to fix our illegal immigration problem once and for all,” Mr. Uthmeier said in a statement. “Alligator Alcatraz and other Florida facilities will do just that.”....

Just insert kill for fix in AG Uthmeier's statement:

Trump will attack blue states with ICE (though 30+ ICE raids have been conducted in Florida), dump the kidnapped in red state Death Camps. Aspiring SCOTUS nominee, Cannon, will likely take care of the felon.
The Final Solution is to detain immigrants in Death Camps and let SCOTUS have the last word.
