A federal judge on Thursday ordered a temporary halt to construction at an immigration detention center — built in the middle of the Florida Everglades and dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” — as attorneys argue whether it violates environmental laws.
The facility can continue to operate and hold detainees for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, but workers will be barred from adding any new filling, paving or infrastructure for the next 14 days. US District Judge Kathleen Williams issued the ruling during a hearing and said she will issue a written order later Thursday.
Alligator Auschwitz.
Correct
Environmental laws, not human rights or anything like that.
We fight them with whatever works.
Al Capone was taken down by tax laws.
weren’t those tax laws introduced exactly to catch him?
Most of these backbirths would go down with a swift kick to the head, FWIW. No need for lawyers. Simple as.
Humans don’t have rights in this country. It’s just been an illusion for 160 years.
They have privileges. And pretty much everyone that isn’t a white billionaire is property in their eyes.
The hierarchy already exists. Those with “rights” are the ultra rich.
- Ultrarich White men
- Ultrarich Non-White men (not a whole lot of)
- Ultrarich White women
- Ultrarich Non-white women
- Ultrarich anyone not the above.
- The executives and politicians. Pretty much everyone is the same at this level, because their only job is to transfer money up.
- Very rich people worth multimillions like celebrities and a larger number of business owners.
- Law Enforcement
- White professional men - lawyers, doctors, I might catch heat, but tenured research professors.
- White professional men that aren’t in number 8.
- White working men.
Everyone else is practically the same level. White women that would otherwise fall into 9, 10, and 11 are sort of a 12, but to people in 1-8 they’re not really any different than non-white people. Disabled people and LGBTQ don’t fit into the worldview of the elite, so they just get “dealt” with.
Everyone a rung lower is really just property to the one above. Practically all US law reflects this too.
MAGA has taken the veil off. The monster was here the whole time.
Sam Reich? Where?
I hope the Alligator Alcatraz will meet the same fate as the Border Wall. As in doesn’t look anything like what was promised and was a predictable colossal tax-dollar-pit failure from get-go.
Assuming anyone involved in building that place will bother listening to a judge.

Never mind the human suffering gotta protect the environment, at least it’s something.
Sure. That’ll stop 'em.
