Florida to construct second ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ migrant centre | US | News
Florida is preparing to expand immigration detention capabilities with some Donald Trump’s famous facility plans called the son of the famous “Crocodile Alcatraz”.
Governor Ron Desantis’s administration is on the verge of giving a contract as a “Northern Detail Facility” for a project known in the state documents.
This development comes as an extension of the controversial “Crocodile Alcatraz”, built on a remote flight track in Florida Everglades and started operations on July 1 and supported by over $ 245 million.
The recommended site for the additional detention center is Camp Blanding, a Florida National Guard training base 27 miles southwest of Jacksonville city center. However, Governor Desantis said that the start of construction in the new field depends on the federal government that increases the deportation activities from the existing Southern Florida facility.
Last month, he claimed that Florida was “ready, willing and talented” to support Florida’s immigration implementation infrastructure. He tells us the mirror.
Legal difficulties
In the meantime, civilian freedom organizations and environmental groups, detainees claim to be adequate food and medical terms, rejected access to the legal consultant, and kept without accusation and claimed that they could not secure the hearings in the Federal Immigration Courts.
Former president Donald Trump was the vocal supporter of the strict conditions of the facility because it is suitable for the “worst of the worst”, but he sees the Southern Florida Detention Center as a criterion for Göçmen Holding Facilities operated by the other state.
The Florida Emergency Management Department, responsible for building the Everglades site, recently invested in a portable emergency intervention air station for $ 39,000 and two lightning sirens for the “Northern Detail Facility”.
This new equipment will provide basic real -time air monitoring and safety notifications for personnel. Investment coincides with Florida’s hurricane season summit and follows severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and overwhelming heat affecting the region.
Secret plans
However, immigration defenders and environmentalists expressed serious reservations about the Everglades facility, and criticized the isolated position and the quick installation of heavy service tents and trailers by government employees and contractor.
Last week, FMEM published an intense censored draft emergency evacuation plan for the “Southern Florida detention facility”.
All sections covering prisoners transport, evacuation and displacement procedures have been completely hidden.
The regulations were allowed within the scope of Florida Legislation, which enabled state institutions to keep their emergency plans confidential.
Despite a large number of public registration requests from the Associated Press, the department could not provide other evacuation plans.
Environmental impact assessments and agency assessments of the facility were also sought.
FMEM Director Kevin Guthrie stopped by the emergency intervention agency’s temporary facility preparations and claimed that a category of 2 hurricanes with wind speeds reaching 110 miles / h was built to survive.
“I promise that hurricane men cover hurricane work.” He said.
Reports show that there is another new immigrant detention center nicknamed “Speedway Slammer” in Indiana.
