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€

    Not the OP, but I think your comments are being interpreted as allegations of OP’s positions on things that are based on assumptions you’ve made based on the original comment, but aren’t necessarily based on the contents itself.

    Calling someone a spiteful, spineless, pathetic racist isn’t exactly a fabulous way to begin a meaningful engagement. Instead, you’re both talking past one another because you’re not operating from any sort of common basis.
