We now have concentration camps in this country. [View all]

I am referring to the facility they setup in the Everglades, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz.
Make no mistake, its not a detention camp, its a concentration camp.

Trump and his goons are following in the footsteps of Hitler and We as Americans are indifferent to it.

We have seen it before. German people ( and polish, austrians where the camps were) also did not want to believe it.

We already have reports of people dying in ice custody ( latest one was a 75 yr Cuban) . It is not hard to imagine what will happen if you put people in the middle of the Everglades in tents, with no AC, marginal food and close to no medical care. There will be deaths in droves.

Of course, we probably won't be able to tell since they will prevent congress to investigate and inspect it.
