US President Donald Trump built a deportation center in the Everglades in Florida, which is said to be safe for the breakout-de Alligators in the swamp would take care of this. If you want to flee, the head of state advises you to flee “in a zigzag” – that would increase the chance of survival.
The deportation -prison on the southern point of the “Sunshine State” is designed for a maximum of 5000 illegal migrants. It was built in just eight days. Trump visited the center on Wednesday accompanied by his Minister of Protection of Homeland, Minister Kristi Noom and under pressure.
Alligators as prison clerks
The prison is also called “Alligator Alcatraz”, based on the Alcatraz Prison Island and is surrounded by swamp and alligators. And in the future, these predators are supposed to prevent the prisoners from fleeing. In front of the television cameras, he mockingly explained how you can create the attempt to stack from the facility: you have to “run away for an alligator” in the zigzag. “Your chance increases by one percent!” Said the president.
Minister: “The only way is the deportation”
With a local inspection, Noemi added that the prison even had air conditioning: “It was made for this environment.” “It is surrounded by swamp areas and the only way is the deportation,” Trump added. Because he warned: “It is not a place where I wanted to go for a walk in the near future.” The alligators are “bodyguards”, which you don’t have to pay so much.
Institution can be the risk of ecosystem
The prison causes criticism before the opening: “It is like a theatricization of cruelty,” said Maria Asuncion Bilbao of the NGO “American Friends Service Committee”. Moreover, no prescribed environmental exams were carried out in the project and official deadlines were observed. The ecosystem of the Everglades is therefore threatened.
The Governor of Florida, Ron Desantis, had taken over the property from the local government and used emergency regulations in the fight against “illegal migration”. So it can be started quickly with the establishment of the prison. CNN reported that the US government would like to pay 20 million for the area, but this was worth $ 190 million. Local politicians are worried that thousands of people are housed so close to one of the most important water sources for Florida drinking water.
Trump had promised the “largest deportation campaign in the history of the United States”. In deportation, there is currently room for 41,000 people throughout the country, but 58,000 migrants are currently in custody. It is said that a total of around 17 million people are in the United States without a valid residence permit.
Tents with cages
The “Alligator Alcatraz” could serve as a model for future facilities. The migrants are housed in large tents in the detention center, as used differently in civil protection. In it you can see cages in which high beds are with metal fences.
