Detention center in Florida has drawn protests over plans to house up to 5,000 illegal immigrants

The newly-opened Florida detention facility housing illegal immigrants known as “Alligator Alcatraz” has drawn both praise and protest.

President Donald Trump visited the detention center in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday, along with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials for a tour that officials hoped could spur other states to open similar facilities.

Built by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in just a matter of days, “Alligator Alcatraz” — named for its surrounding swamps teeming with alligators and pythons — received its first detainees this week, according to The Associated Press.

That depends on how humanely it is run.

so what everyone has a problem with everything.

Here are some details about Alligator Alcatraz:

Photos show what's known as a dormitory set-up. This same set-up is used in some prisons.

The prison and cells are basically chain-link, enclosed in temporary type structures.

Perhaps most important, given the climate, is the housing units have AC. That's not only a temperature issue, but humidity as well. TB can spread in high temperatures and high humidity.

There are inside bathrooms, including shower stalls.

The facility can withstand up to 110 MPH winds.

In addition to grid power, it has backup generators.

It's built on the side of an airport. Aerial photos show several man-made ponds near the facility. My guess is that much of the basics already existed and the prison is built on existing asphalt.

Inmates are to be fed three times a day.

The intent is short-term incarceration before deportation.

My question is then why Christians should be opposed to prisoners incarcerated in Alligator Alcatraz rather than another facility. It's not like the prisoners will be bunking with alligators. If the issue is the deportation of those who entered the US illegally or overstayed their visas, then shouldn't that be the issue rather than where they are incarcerated?
