Florida as usual the laboratory for awful ideas later replicated in other states.
Dept. of Homeland Security Secretary Noem said Saturday she's talking with 5 Republican-led states to build another immigrant detention site inspired by the new Florida "Alligator Alcatraz" facility .

And this is why having hundreds of people detained in tents in the middle of the Everglades during hurricane season is a dangerous and stupid idea. And we are just in the beginning of hurricane season.

“At one point, he says the toilets stopped flushing. When staff failed to fix the problem, detainees were forced to remove human waste — by picking it up with their hands and moving it elsewhere themselves — to use the bathroom, all with little to no privacy.”.
New from me:. Fernando Artese, a 63-year-old Argentine living in Miami, was on his way to a new life in Spain. Now, he’s locked up at Alligator Alcatraz.

Land used for the Everglades detention camp is priceless, but worth noting it’s appraised for $195 million, and was seized from Miami-Dade without compensation by the state of Florida as the county faces a $400 million budget shortfall (the state a $2.8 billion budget shortfall).
A new era of austerity is coming for Miami-Dade’s budget as @MayorDaniella readies a spending plan reportedly w cuts & even a tax increase on gas (prop-tax rates remain flat). Will commission support, pick other cuts or kick the fiscal can another year?
