Democratic lawmakers denied entry to Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention site
Ahead of the attempted site visit, the Democratic lawmakers said, "As lawmakers, we have both the legal right and moral responsibility to inspect this site."
A group of Florida Democratic state lawmakers was blocked from entering the Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility in the Everglades Thursday, despite citing legal authority for an official legislative site visit.
Florida Democratic Party Chair Nikki Fried issued a statement following the incident, saying, "Lawmakers on the ground were just blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called 'safety concerns.' This is a taxpayer-funded facility, run by the State of Florida. Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates."
Fried added, "What are Ron DeSantis and his administration trying to hide? If it's unsafe for lawmakers to visit, how is it safe for anyone inside?"
You're viewing a single thread.
Cowards, along with their voters who allow this feckless posturing.
Korean lawmakers were climbing fences and grabbing guns out of the hands of law enforcement in response to something not even half as serious.
Show up armed or with an armed security force, you goddamn clowns. This isn’t 2004 GWB shit. You’re standing up to Nazis, or you aren’t.
The SK soldiers' hearts were not in it. They were given orders, but nobody was actually going to do anything to stop the Parliament from getting in, and everyone knew it.
MAGA thugs are absolutely willing to use violence against Democrat lawmakers. They already have.
Given your post history, I already know what your reply will be, but post it anyway.
Ice has shown extreme cowardice when power is equal between parties and showing up with an armed force could be effective.
Better than this performative bullshit.
They say that, but MAGAs are cowards at their core. Let's see if they will actually fire on elected officials who are simply doing their jobs. I doubt they will.
A dude in my state executed his neighbor because he thought his neighbor might vote for a Democrat. It wasn't some aggravated argument, the neighbor was just out mowing his grass.
I absolutely believe the thugs who are going around kidnapping people would have no qualms with smashing a boot into a democrats face or straight up mag-dumping the second the person tries to force their way inside.
Time to mag-dump right back then, bring the NFAC with banana mags and full auto rifles.
You'll get no argument from me about the proper response, however unless you've got 20-30 of your buddies with you, all of whom know how to handle themselves and their firearms, and work in coordination, you will just end up a dead "terrorist" covered by fox news
That's what the NFAC buddies are there for.
I mean, to that equivalence, all bigots are cowards at their cores.
Then grab the guns and see if they fire. If they do, then civil war it is. Let these MAGA fucks fire the first shot and then the last will be fired when they're lined up against the wall.
You can be the first one to grab and see what happens
If I was a US citizen, fucking gladly!
I'll happily die for being the first one with the FUCKING BOLLOCKS to do something and go down in history. What about you? Do you have the stones or are you happy to wither away under a fascist banner to be forgotten?
Home of the brave? Nah land of the scared cowards, what a failed colony!
100%. A bunch of clowns who have been talking a big game for a century and are now quaking in their boots when it comes time to live up to their stated values.
Still, they did it unarmed. Your country has more guns than people. Those thugs just kidnap and take anyone they want. At least use your guns for self defence.
This photo is so fucking badass. Representative straight up throwing herself into the line of fire.
