Trump to Visit New Mass Incarceration Camp 'Allagator Alcatraz'
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump will visit a new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday for what’s expected to be the site’s official opening, showcasing what critics are condemning as an inhumane makeshift prison camp and what supporters are embracing as a national model for aggressively ramping up detention and deportation efforts.
Florida officials have raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in a matter of days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The facility is located at an isolated airfield about 45 miles (72 kilometers) west of downtown Miami and is surrounded by swamps filled with mosquitoes, pythons and alligators. Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by state officials, supporters say the reference to the notorious federal prison and the harshness of the conditions at the facility are meant to be a deterrent.

They say when Heinrich Himmler first visited a concentration camp, camps created with his very own input, he passed out.
I get the same vibe from Trump and Miller, can't handle the cruelty they themselves devised. Pussies.

Native American folklore often includes narratives about curses and revenge, sometimes involving nature as a force of retribution against humans who have caused harm or injustice.

Isn't being forced to live anywhere in Florida a form of torture?
