A group of Florida Democratic state lawmakers was blocked from entering the Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility in the Everglades Thursday, despite citing legal authority for an official legislative site visit.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried issued a statement following the incident, saying, “Lawmakers on the ground were just blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called ‘safety concerns.’ This is a taxpayer-funded facility, run by the State of Florida. Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates.”
Fried added, “What are Ron DeSantis and his administration trying to hide? If it’s unsafe for lawmakers to visit, how is it safe for anyone inside?”
Just wait for the next hurricane to destroy that POS
Trump was just in there like a pig in shit.
“denied access” doesn’t sound like they showed up ready to do anything about the place, fucking sad
Within a year they’ll be allowed in but not out.
As lawmakers you can bring the local sherrifs to press your case.
Well, I guess that about sums up our requisite response.
why do you think they built in in florida? local sheriff won’t help democrat lawmakers
If Trump has his way I’m sure they’ll be getting to know the place soon enough.
the death camp is completely off the grid. it runs on generators, has no plumbing, and is already flooding with the most basic rainstorm Florida has to offer. my only hope is that the losers who choose to work there suffer as much as their victims
Patience. They’ll see the inside of that place soon enough.
Alligator Auschwitz. Get some cojones, fuckers.
American media is in the “if we say it out loud, it’ll become true” phase.
They’re not wrong, but it will become true regardless, so it’s kinda irrelevant.
The big thing is that admitting earlier could prevent it going as far as it has in the past.
Where’s the merch for this name?
Setting up an Etsy store rn
Did they get any merchandise?
THEY’RE SELLING MERCHANDISE LIKE IT’S A GODDAMN AMUSEMENT PARK!
Anyone going to tell me I’m just a “gloom and doomer” and decency will prevail?
Fuck that. The United States is a fascist nation. It’s our new reality. The lives we lived are over. Resist your fascist masters PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY by preserving history, literature, and science that might be destroyed by the regime.
One day they will destroy themselves. Most of us won’t live to see it. But those who are there, will need to rebuild. They’ll need the things that are being burned.
I don’t agree with peaceful resistance.
if i can’t have peace, why should they?
Resist your fascist masters PEACEFULLY and LEGALLY
I disagree. Fight fascism with everything you’ve got.
the whole point is fascism is that you can’t fight it legally.
there are legal ways to resist, but the state is the law and fighting the state will be illegal.

Cowards. you’ve obviously got something to hide and you’re afraid to show it
blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called ‘safety concerns.’
don’t believe that cover story one bit lol
if it’s too dangerous for visitors it is not suitable for human habitation
Our representatives should just bring a posse of 30 armed guards and force their way into the trafficking centers. The Trump Regime, like all bullies, only respects power.
Bonus points if all or most of the armed guards are large, 6’5"+ linebacker sized black dudes looking like they’re ready for a fight!
A mixed group would be better. It shuts down a lot of propaganda spins. It needs to be hard to spin as anything other than patriots Vs fascists (particularly not black Vs white).
Deportation macht Frei
