Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

A federal judge on Thursday barred the DeSantis and Trump administrations from bringing new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz and demanded the state scale down operations at the immigration detention facility within 60 days. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, in her 82-page ruling, prohibited the state and federal governments from sending more immigrants to the detention center, built on an airstrip on the edge of the Big Cypress National Preserve. She also told the state to remove all generators, gas, sewage, lighting, fencing and other waste items over the next nine weeks that helped transform the airstrip into a detention center, eventually rendering the site uninhabitable.

Nice grift.
Now build another one, wait for it to get ordered shut.
Repeat, until the public treasury is empty.

Biden's Auto-pen had a better grift. They took the money and built nothing for four years.

Right on time with deflection to Biden.

And a completely baseless deflection at that!

Instead of a new clean and modern facility we could put illegals in the same substandard DC jail the Jan 6 patriots were housed.

Due process? Many spent years in solitary awaiting to find out with what they were being charged.

Yes. Due Process. They were charged, held, and went to trial.

Like I said, if you don't like our system when it 'hurts' your boys, then change it legally.
