A Democratic congresswoman has given a scathing review of the Trump administration’s so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” in Florida, describing it as an “internment camp” that needs to be “shut the hell down.”

Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who represents Florida’s 25th congressional district, said that pictures of the facility “don’t do it justice” and that detainees were being “packed into cages.”

On Saturday Florida lawmakers from both parties took a state-arranged tour of the new 3,000-bed detention center that the state rapidly built on an isolated airstrip surrounded by swampland in the Everglades.

      Kill any nazis you see on sight. They will chicken out when they start fearing for their own safety.

        Feed the alligators bacon. Once they have a taste for pigs, the ICE agents will no longer be able to work there.

      Boycott American-made goods and services, and try not to support anything from American-owned companies.

          Do what you can. No-one needs to eschew all American things, but if everyone can cut down a little bit, their economy will feel the pain. A poor economy gives less for the tits in charge to hide behind.

        Finally an excuse to buy these nice but somewhat pricey (actually more like fucking expensive) Italian guitar strings.

      Do you mean without stepping foot in Florida? Probably nothing. And even then, it would take a Rambo style frontal assault.

      Or, join the government and have a meeting about a meeting to decide if you’re going to have a meeting to decide if this is a situation that requires an action meeting.

        Do you think only the government works that way with the whole meetings thing? Corporate america is like that as well, maybe worse even. And actually, I work as a federal contractor doing software stuff, and I dont attend meetings about meetings. Some of us, actually, most of us do have real shit to get done when they go to work.

        TLDR: Meetings about meetings about meetings is for beaurocrats, not scientists and engineers.

          Dude, no one is talking about you and we don’t want to change the conversation to talk about you. That’s weird.

            Sure, but its also weird to insinuate that being a government employee of any kind means having meetings about meetings to decide if youre going to have a meeting about doing something.

          Help me understand why you took this personally. My first thought is neurodivergence, but I don’t wanna put labels on anyone.

      One could rent drones from Florida businesses nearby and if you are in a country that lacks an extradition treaty with the US Government; well…
