Lawmakers in Florida are raising alarm over documents suggesting immigrant children and pregnant women could be detained at ā€˜Alligator Alcatraz.’

A draft operational plan obtained by the Miami Herald suggests minors could indeed be transported to the controversial site in the Everglades. The 35-page undated document details protocols to ā€œseparate minors from unrelated adultsā€ and to provide ā€œsnacks and waterā€ to minors, pregnant women and detainees with medical conditions during transport.

ā€œThe State of Florida is planning to send pregnant women and children to the ā€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ detention camp,ā€ wrote State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith on social media. ā€œThis is totally un-American. We cannot be silent.ā€

    Yeah, at this point I have zero sympathy for anyone who voted for them. You find yourself without health insurance, a home, being deported, having your workers deported? Welcome to the find out phase of FAaFO.

      None of these people voted at all. They literally couldn’t vote against this.
