It was toured on tv, sorry you missed it. Brand new air-conditioned facility. Call it what you wish, prison, containment facility or what ever. It is humane. Your stand against the deportation of criminals is very disturbing. But you are free to argue a flawed position all you wish.

The people who actually are there have a different take.
Vladimir Miranda, a migrant from Cuba who has been at the facility since Sunday, said that "right now the generators apparently can't cope and the electricity is going out," When the electricity goes out there's no water and the phones and air conditioners don't work, "and we're here sweating" profusely, Miranda said in his native Spanish.
His girlfriend, Eveling Ortiz told NBC 6 that Miranda crossed the U.S.-Mexico border and, like many Cuban migrants, was given the I-220A form that documents that a migrant has been released into the U.S. by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“He had the final hearing two weeks ago,” she said.
But days later, Miranda, 32, was detained by immigration officials at his job in Orlando and moved to the Everglades facility.
“The conditions they’re going through, they’re horrible,” Ortiz alleged. "They don’t have water, they can’t use the bathroom properly. They’re not taking a bath.”
Perhaps a TV tour does not convey the reality of dealing with real world conditions?
Not if they can't get water or use a restroom, it isn't.
What stand against the deportation of criminals? Nothing I have said was in any way against the deportation of criminals so one wonders how you got that so wrong?

I have already provided statistics from the CATO Institute demonstrating a small minority have been convicted of violent, criminal charges - aproximately 7%. Yet, you persist in characterizing them as "rapist, muderous gang members, human traffickers, drug dealers and child abusers."
This is nothing more than a continuation of Trump's demonization of Mexican immigrants in 2015:
"When Mexico sends its people, they're not sending their best," he said. "They're sending people that have lots of problems...they're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime. They're rapists. And some, I assume, are good people."
Are there bad illegal immigrants? Certainly.
Are there bad US citizens living in your home town? Certainly. But I'm guessing you don't say that "many" of your town's residents are rapists, gang members, etc.

There’s no contradictions between being a communist radical Islamist and advocating for gay/trans rights ?

You mean the curated tour they gave before any detainees had arrived?

It’s not supposed to be. They aren’t being processed as prisoners in the penal system. They aren’t given a day in court. In this sense they’re being treated much worse than our most hardened criminals in actual prison.
I expect basic human rights to be upheld like the law requires.
Aren’t y’all all about law and order?
And you’ve sidestepped the question. Do you know what the conditions are like now that it’s been overcrowded with detainees?

Allah is the same god. The God of Abraham. Do you consider Jews to be praying to a false God the same way you do Muslims?

You need to study up on Islam. In Islam Jesus is not the Son of God who was crucified and raised the third day. To them Jesus was not the sacrifice for our sin. Islam is a a false religion not worshipping the God of the Bible the creator of the universe. The claim that they worship the same God as Christians is deceptive and absolutely false. Jews need to accept Christ as savior just like everyone else. Many from Islam have accepted Christ and when that happens they renounce the false religion of Islam.

There's only one true God. Whereas there's lots of false gods and idols.
Yahweh in the Bible and Allah in the Quran are not the same.
