Disturbing: Future plans for the Everglades concentration camp could include women, children and elderly

Heard this about an hour ago on MSNBC and found the source: NBC6-Miami. It includes the 37-page plans for all the camps that could be built in Florida. So women, children under 18, and elderly (those over 70) now must be among the "worst of the worst."

"As more detainees arrive at the controversial detention center in the Everglades, NBC6 learned new information about who else may end up at the facility politicians call “Alligator Alcatraz.”

In a 37-page state document named “Immigration Enforcement Operations Plan,” a subsection titled “Time Limits and Restrictions” said “an unaccompanied minor (under 18), persons over 70, females with children, and family groups will not be placed in hold rooms.”

(FYI -- hold rooms are for short-term detainees who will be flown to another country)

These are the real criminals who are bringing death and destruction to our streets. They need to be thrown in maximum security prison.

structure is a joke and toilets evidently are overflowing onto floors. And the site isn't even up to maximum capacity.

This is not humane treatment of captives. And it targets groups before they are even detained.
