We all need to release hell on him! Strength in numbers. Reminds me of a Temptation song, ‘Ball of Confusion’. Not only confusion but cruelty, lies, and hate. And this is just ICE! Armed terrorists! A video showed children being handcuffed! Not a damn thought for not only those being ‘kidnapped’, but for those left behind. It’s very doubtful they’ll be reunited. Home of the free and land of the brave doesn’t exist anymore.

And to feel so helpless! Those little children will be traumatized for life! And will these families will ever be reunited? It doesn’t appear this administration gives a damn.

Seeing how quickly Alligator Alcatraz was set up so quickly, I’m thinking it won’t withstand a big blow and that was the plan. The bloodiest administration ever.

All those incarcerated in Florida's Ultimate Florida Man embarrassment were denied due process. They have not been charged nor had their day in court. Florida wants to be a vigilante state? You will pay these people, the ones who survive and the survivors of those who die in your custody.

Is there a possibility of a discrimination lawsuit which posits that only POC are being targeted by ICE not anyone white?

There is already action on that front. A judge inCalifornia has accused ICE of using racial profiling and has ordered them to stop.

The problem there is that judges have issued countless orders in the past, and the Trump Administration has mostly just ignored them.

Alligator Alcatraz aka Auschwitz is not a prison , it is a concentration camp. People who are doing time in prisons have been given due process and have been tried in a court of law. They are usually given a certain amount of time in incarceration and have a release date. Alligator Alcatraz is housing alleged illegal brown immigrants with no due process or representation. . They are housed in cages in a hostile environment infested with mosquitoes, pythons, alligators , panthers and the odd anaconda. Shaded from the sweltering 120 degree temperatures with tents that are not rated for hurricanes . Prone to flooding. Three toilets per cage where the unfortunates get their drinking water. How barbaric .

The Cuban-American population in Florida tends to range from the conservative right to centrists. Trump isn't winning any friends by persecuting other Hispanics from Mexico and South America. The Cuban-Americans escaped Castro''s far left in Cuba only to be betrayed and disgusted by Trump's far right depravity in Florida.

These Republican politicians are tone deaf. I guess their hearing will improve at the mid-terms when they find themselves looking for a new job.

I don't mean to sound mean or evil, but if a hurricane hits Alligator Alcatraz and immigrants die, the government officials responsible and funding it need to be held accountable for every death.

Unfortunately, church goers (the Christo fascist church goers) DO like this and applaud and encourage it. I bet they even wear the alligator Alcatraz merch to church. The American church is in a dire situation

Long ago, when I first started learning far more about law and the Latin phrases used in law than I had ever needed to know in my life, I subscribed to Glenn Kirschner's Justice Matters YT.

Glenn thoroughly taught us about criminal mens rea. The criminal state of mind while committing an illegal act, a guilty mind.

Explain to us, ICE, the criminal mens rea demonstrated by immigrant farm workers picking our crops or by persons here escaping from hideous conditions in dangerous countries only to be thrown into Alligator Alcatraz here. Does desperation to survive constitute criminal mens rea?

In the interest of avoiding TLDR, explain, if you can, how this makes "America" a Christian nation?

America's religion is hate, revenge, retribution and allegedly returning us to a greatness we'd never lost until it was destroyed by MAGA.

Thank you, Dave, for this news and glimmer of hope that the bottom has been reached. That maybe we can recover ourselves and what we once were.

Don't be so Goddamned stingy with US citizenship. Isn't it obvious? We need all the help we can get.
