Donald Trump, visiting this Tuesday, July 1 in “L’Alcatraz Des aligators”, a new migrant detention center built in the middle of the Pantans of Florida, made fun of the detained people who, in case of escaping from being attacked by a wild fauna.
Questioned by a journalist if the idea is that fugitives are attacked by caimanes or snakes, the US president said “assuming it is the concept.”
“The snakes are fast, but the caimanes … we will teach them to flee from a crocodile, agree? If they escape from prison, how to flee: do not run in a straight line, they run like this,” he had fun drawing a Zigzag with his hand. “And you know what? Your possibilities increase by 1%.”
“We have many policemen in the form of falls: he doesn’t need to pay them so much,” said the Republican admiring recent facilities in Ochopee, on the edge of the Everglades National Park. “I would not like to run a lot in the Everglades. I will keep the people where they are supposed to be.”
A “inhuman” qualified site by detractors
The construction, in a timely week, praise, of this “Alcatraz Des aligators” unworthy of the brutal migration policy of Donald Trump, which qualifies the site as “inhuman”.
This retention center, made of literate literas, locked in wireless cages, under white canvas pavilions, was built at lightning speed in an old Everglades, a natural swampy area protected in the southeast of the country. There, about 3,000 places are planned, according to the Minister of Internal Security, Kristi Noem.
Around 200,000 caimanes, which can exceed 4 meters in their adult size, populate the Everglades National Park and make it popular.
If crocodile attacks against humans remain relatively rare in Florida: 1948 and 2022, 453 “accidental bite have not caused”, including 26 mortals: US authorities have worked to amplify the risk have been listed.
“If people go out, there is not much to wait for them, apart from the caimanes and the pythons,” said Florida prosecutor James Uthmeier.
The opposite protesters to Donald Trump have met in front of the center of Florida in recent days. “Do not use nature as a weapon”, “Do not touch my swamp,” we could read.
Environmental defenders denounce the construction of the center in a natural ecosystem that houses more than 2,000 species of animals and plants.
A reference to the famous ancient island of the island of San Francisco
Both the White House and the local authorities nickname this “Alcatraz de los Crocodiles” center, referring to the former island of San Francisco that Donald Trump also plans to reopen.
If this other shocking project seems to be paralyzed after officials have significantly estimated their exorbitant cost, “the design work began six months ago, and several penitentiary development companies are studying how to do it with us. It is still a bit early, but very promising,” said the former New York business man on his social social platform.
Before this “Alcatraz de los Caimanes”, Donald Trump, who erected the fight against immigration in absolute priority of his second mandate, had already expelled migrants in an irregular situation towards a giant prison in Salvador and others in Guantanamo, a US military base in Cuba.
His visit to Florida occurs when the Republican president presses to adopt his megaproject of budgetary law, which includes the financing of a vast program of expulsion of illegal immigrants.
