Lawmakers in Florida are raising alarm over documents suggesting immigrant children and pregnant women could be detained at 'Alligator Alcatraz.'

A draft operational plan obtained by the Miami Herald suggests minors could indeed be transported to the controversial site in the Everglades. The 35-page undated document details protocols to "separate minors from unrelated adults" and to provide "snacks and water" to minors, pregnant women and detainees with medical conditions during transport.

"The State of Florida is planning to send pregnant women and children to the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention camp," wrote State Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith on social media. "This is totally un-American. We cannot be silent."

I do wonder whether it would be possible to use drones with explosives to blow these things up, ideally before people get there.

Not explosives. Too risky, too uncontrolled. Too much debris. Risk of drone leaving too much evidence behind to track. When stamping out cancer: precision when possible. Technology if necessary. Chemotherapy last.

These concentration camps are tumors, caused by an already widespread cancer, that is extremely slow to kill, but very resistant to chemo. The turmors can be excized to lengthen and improve the patient's life by small amounts.

how do you apply that practically? you'll hardly have time to install that setup on the car of an ICE vehicle or some place where you pass by by chance. Where else could that be useful?

Well, anything that is made of something that melts below 2500-4500 C for starters.

If your imagination is having a tough time figuring out how to deliver it, I recommend watching some videos out of Ukraine. As far as practicality, I'll refer you to WWII sabotage tricks.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
