I have the perfect ones who should accommodated those cages, Miller, Bannon, tRump, Caroline Leavitt, Patel, the Insurrectionists and the Project 2025 crew. Feel free to name more.

Every one of the masked ICE thugs who have been arresting anyone who looks vaguely Latino, in spite of being shown green cards or proof of citizenship!

I saw a picture and thought I saw “hot boxes.” Turns out they were large ac units. Of course there wasn’t any indication of what they were cooling. 🤷

Hate to say it, but Trump will say this camp is for “bad dudes” and the general public will agree that these conditions are okay.

my opinion the Florida heat and humidity are worse than the dry heat of Maricopa County. Both are deadly.

I would fight to the death to avoid it or be killed making a break for it. I hate heat and humidity and being close to other people so that is pretty much my literal definition of hell.

I'm pretty sure those flaps with holes in the hanging from the ceiling are for ventilation but I seriously doubt they would install a system large enough to keep with south Florida heat and humidity. I worked in a factory in Ohio that had that type of setup except it was an insulated steel building. It still got brutally hot in there in the summer.

trump and DeathSantis have built a true concentration camp and trump is "joking" about feeding detainees to alligators. This new concentration camp scares me. There are several good comparisons of the Auschwitz camp and living facilities compared to this facility














I am former member of the board of my 2400 family temple and have got to listen a good number of holocaust survivors over the years. trump/DeathSantis' new facility is a concentration camp where it is likely that normal law abiding detainees may end up (over 60% of the ICE detainees have no criminal record).
This facility is not Auschwitz but could be just the beginning

The Trump Regime is following the Nazi Playbook to a tee.

They have their own private Gestapo of unidentified masked marauders and are building Concentration/Death Camps nationwide to imprison the ICE Gestapo’s human bounty.

Do not be deceived. These camps are not only for black and brown immigrants. They will soon house the Trump Regimes domestic enemies.

This is only the beginning. Want to know their next move? Study the history of the Third Reich.
