What a waste of resources.
Somebody made bank because of this bullshit.
Grifters gonna grift. The whole admin is a conglomerate of grifters.
Using hate to make bank, the American way.
GEO Group - George Zoley and his son Chris
Every f***ing American should know their names and they don’t and they get to live in comfort because of it.
Company that invests in private prisons. Both times trump was elected, their stock doubled within the following weeks/months. Jesus that's fucked
They don’t just invest in them, they build them.
And own and operate. "Invest" was just kind of an umbrella term. But unintentionally made them seem less fucked up
Ya, including some Canadians for feck's sake.
Search for... Canadian Company Staffing Alligator Alcatraz... You'll find Gardaworld
I don't know what the average detainment period has been but they somehow managed to deport immigrants to El Salvador in a few days, but no doubt they've been holding others for weeks without a hearing or any kind of scheduled date for deportation.
Gitmo, Rwanda, Uganda, Somalia, we don't really know where else.
Gardaworld shareholders who no doubt made a contribution to Trump
The administration's claims that it's 250-450 million USD fronted by Florida, and then backfilled by FEMA Shelter and Services Program funds.
It would be interesting to see how many thousands they paid per night to imprison each person here.
One of the other versions of this same thing, I think the one in Texas, they are paying $300k per tent in building the facility. This entire thing reeks of manufacturing an opportunity to hand inflated government contracts to selected individuals
FEMA prison camps sound familiar from W voters
Iirc (I'm not going to bother to look it up), the one in Texas is supposed to be the biggest and they're aiming for 5000 people there. So let's say Florida is also aimed to be maxed out at 5000, because it's a nice round number.
And let's use your lower estimate of 250,000,000. That's $50,000 per person, just to house them for a couple of months, and doesn't include the costs to capture and transport the victims to the secondary location.
modern humans in a nutshell
Republican opportunism is thrifty. I'll give them that.
Could have built a lot of free/affordable housing with all the money they dumped on this racist PR stunt, actually going to work on that unhoused crisis. but nah. Brilliant leadership from the fash regime once again.
the facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz”
I'm not familiar...do they mean Alligator Auschwitz?
The Everglades Concentration Camp. None of this branding
Where are they sending the detainees?
Out back.
:(
This is why I am not exactly thrilled about this.
Probably fucking Uganda
Probably fed them to the alligators if I had to guess.
Lol so now it's alligator Alcatraz because it's shut down, like Alcatraz, and surrounded by gators.
All that trash that was made and sold should be treated the same way that Nazi stuff is treated in Germany.
Hell yeah. This is correct.
Shut it down!!!
Keep it preserved. You'll need a place where you can store the Trumpists when this is over.
how we treat the worst among us is how we judge a society. tear it the fuck down and build a humane prison.
Reconstruction and Nuremberg were objective failures to place accountability that I would rather not repeat.
i can breathe a little easier after reading this
Might want to check for mass graves first.
I don't. What will happen to all the people already there?
I don't know anything here but the fact that a concentration camp is apparently being shut down. that is an objectively good thing if true. I'm trying not to let best be the enemy of good here. don't fuck up my cope i need this.
