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€

    just call it Alligator Auschwitz.

    Of course they’re going to send children and pregnant women. Do they think the Nazi Germans were all ā€œyou know what? the jew kids and pregnant jew women are too much for this. lets leave them alone.ā€ no. You don’t gear up for a genocide by picking and choosing those within the group you plan on genociding.

      Wait this place is really named ā€œAlligator Alcatrazā€? That’s not a ā€œfunnyā€ quirky name the media came up with?
