Trump to Visit New Mass Incarceration Camp 'Allagator Alcatraz'
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will visit a new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday for what’s expected to be the site’s official opening, showcasing what critics are condemning as an inhumane makeshift prison camp and what supporters are embracing as a national model for aggressively ramping up detention and deportation efforts.
Florida officials have raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in a matter of days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a deterrent.

They say when Heinrich Himmler first visited a concentration camp, camps created with his very own input, he passed out.
I get the same vibe from Trump and Miller, can't handle the cruelty they themselves devised. Pussies.

Native American folklore often includes narratives about curses and revenge, sometimes involving nature as a force of retribution against humans who have caused harm or injustice.

Isn't being forced to live anywhere in Florida a form of torture?

[quote]The airfield site, in Ochopee, west of Miami, is a perfect backdrop for Trump’s stunt politics. Here, he can pose as a scowling strongman to please voters who hate political correctness. Democrats squeamish about the imagery and the undercurrent of cruelty around his immigration purge risk being mocked as soft on the border.
[quote]The symbolism of the leader of the world’s most important democracy, who idolizes foreign dictators, enthusing over a detention camp may stir dark historic echoes .
[quote]But that’s not worrying the White House. It loves the optics and is evoking cartoonish imagery of a draconian outpost in a wilderness patrolled by razor-toothed reptiles and venomous snakes.

[quote]"We are going after murderers and rapists and traffickers and drug dealers and getting them off the streets and getting them out of this country because [former President] Joe Biden let the worst of the worst to come in here," Noem said. "The other day, I was talking to some marshals that had been partnering with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement]. They said that they had detained a cannibal and put him on a plane to take him home and while they had him in his seat, he started to eat himself. And they had to get him off and get him medical attention."
I wanna see the receipts!

For all the long-gone tariff talk of only needing one doll, Trump seems to have a lot of Nazi Barbies.
