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€

    Based on their laws, if the adverse setting they’ve placed a pregnant woman in causes a miscarriage, all of the employees are partially responsible for a homicide right? Since life begins at conception right?

      The problem in your logic here is that immigrant children aren’t people in their eyes, so fetus or not they can’t be murdered.
