The Florida state is not responding to the requests for commentary as about 45 miles (72 km) to the west of Miami, in the west of the Big Saru National preservatives, reports a activist on an abandoned Everglads airstrip in the airstrip.
The construction is part of the plan of Florida Governor Ron Desantis, which plans to build a detention facility to the house immigrants in Turts as part of a large Trump administration of Trump, which relieves the country of “criminal aliens”.
D. Santis and his kingdom Attorney General, James Uthmeyer, have billed the site, which 1,000 people in tents as “Elegator Alkatraz” – a play on local organisms and a notorious San Francisco Bay facility, which US President Donald Trump wants to return to jail from National Park. The Uthmeier and his team produced a video pitching the Florida project on X, referring to the fact that “apart from crocodiles and pythons, apart from” there is not much “.
On Thursday, Uthmeier said that the convenience, which is being built with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) fund, will be completed in 30 to 60 days. The annual operating cost is currently estimated to be approximately $ 450 million (€ 387 million).
Waste of money and energy during storm season
D Santis’ plan to use the Hurricane Relief Fund for the construction of the site has affected some. For example, former secretary of the motherland Alex Howard exploded the plan, called it “a fierce mixture of the cruel and political theater”.
Howard said, “You do not solve immigration by disappearing people in a tent protected by gates.”
“You solve it with legitimate processing, human infrastructure and real policy – not by staging $ 450 million stunts in the middle of the storm season,” he said.
Resistance
Beyond the suspected redirect of emergency money and serious concerns on the potential environmental impact of the project on its delicate environment, the natives in Florida are in weapons on the Governor’s plan.
The area in which the facility is to be built was home to the Microsuki tribe of Indians of Florida and Seminole tribe of Florida, as well as the seminole nation of Oklahoma.
“There is a deserted barren land for crocodiles and pythons rather than Microkesuki Homelands, as some have Chinese, the Traditional Homes of Big Saru tribe. This landscape has protected Microkoki and seminole people for generations written on social media.
“Bada Saru is our part,” Hey said, “and we are a part of it.”
Another Microsuki leader, Betty Oskola, in a social media post on Saturday, confirmed a demonstration against the site and wrote: “This place became our refuge in the war time. Generations.”
Some 15 traditional micsuki and seminole live in the villages Big Saru, as well as ceremonies and Buria Maidan and other gathering places. Local people say that this area is “holy” and it should be protected, not destroyed. “
