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€

    They are pointing out the alarms only going off for women/children instead of for everyone

      The alarms are not going off for women, they’re going off for pregnant women, but all these ā€œwhatabout menā€ comments are ignoring that non-pregnant women are also in the ignored group and just making it about men’s welfare being discredited. Gives MRA vibes.
