Did the Cubans fled from an authoritarian country to another?
The following week, I traveled west of Miami towards the Gulf of Mexico – “The Gulf of America” in Trump. After the last row of shopping and sub -divisions, the Everglades team, in a vast and hot area of semi -tropical land, took over. In the Miccosukee Indian Reserve, I passed with cucumbers where tourists take horse riding in the swamp to see crocodiles.
Thomas Kennedy, a policy analyst in the Migrant Alliance in Florida. Kennedy is the thirty -fourth, the son of the Argentine who came to the United States with tourist visas and remaining. After spending many of his childhood as an illegal immigrant, he became a citizen, and made immigration issues to do his life. A few days ago, he joined a group of legislators in the democratic states who went out to inspect the Alcatraz crocodile and refused to enter by officials there. Kennedy recalls: “What they told them is that they had no right to enter, and also it was to protect their own,” Kennedy recalls. One of the legislators indicated that he was safe enough for the President of the United States. Officials still refuse to allow them to enter.
As the road extended to a deeper wilderness of the National Carro National Reserve, the signs were distinguished by the imprisonment entrance. We stopped, we stopped at a road barrier guarded by two armed officers in Fliac’s jackets. One of the guards told us that unauthorized visitors were forbidden, but they were ready to speak for a few minutes. Her face was red in the heat, and she admitted that the swamp was not the most comfortable place to stand. She said she could not complain – she had a lot of drinking water, sunscreen, and chasing errors.
The prisoners were less careful. Kennedy was in contact with a Cuban woman, and her son, a severe asthma, was reserved in the crocodile for a week, and he was not transferred until after his health dramatically decreased. Another Cuban man was brought with sharp hemorrhoids. He was finally transferred to surgery, then he immediately returned to detention, although he suffers from permanent pain. Kennedy said it was difficult to follow the detainees, because many of them were transferred to prisons in Louisiana and Tixas, but the abuse cases were accumulating. A fifteen -year -old boy was held for a week before anyone realized that he was below the legal age; Another was detained by hunger strike in the aircraft landing for several hours in the sun. (DHS denies allegations of inhuman circumstances.)
When input, trucks with colored windows were pulled to provide more detainees. Kennedy pointed to a place in the swamp where he saw crocodiles hanging when he visited with legislators. The prison was aimed at maintaining the migrants who committed crimes, but according to Miami HeraldAnd only a third of the prisoners referred to criminal records in the United States, and Kennedy indicated that the Classic crocodile was present in a legal form: the Ministry of Internal Security,, IceFlorida all avoided the attachment. “Lawyers still have any idea of the place of resorting to submitting their cases,” he said. “It is a concentration camp. It works outside any judicial framework, where people are placed in a legal loophole of which there is no asylum.”
Later, Kennedy came to Ossiola, an activist Mikosuki who was a prominent voice of opposition to Alcatraz. She told me that the prison violations were clear, but no one seems to be interested in power. “I was trying to carry people to listen, including local legislators,” she said. “Unfortunately, in Florida and through the United States, the toxicity is, if you only talk about humanitarian issues, they raise you.” Instead, she and her allies raised concerns about the ecosystem. She pointed out that the prison was installed in the middle of a national reserve without studying the environmental impact. She said: “What they do to people is not right, but it also affects the leopards, the wood of wood, and the pious, due to the pollution of light.” Looking at the number of violations, Osulala seemed surprising that the government was allowed even to start building: “If they were any group or another individual, they were arrested.”
In August, a federal judge was sincerely imprisoned on environmental foundations. Desantis also complained of “an active judge trying to carry out a policy of seat,” the state submitted an appeal and obtained residency in the ruling. However, prisoners were hurriedly transferred to other facilities. Some went to Fort Bliss, in Texas, or to a prison in North Florida called Deportation Depot. Others were sent to the KROME detention center in Miami – another facility was the disturbing accident site. In late June, a seventy -five -year -old American man died there, apparently due to heart failure. It has been in the United States since the age of sixteen.
From Miami, she spoke on the phone with one of the women who were arrested in Las Kanas after the accident with Morjon. Alina, as she asked to be called, is fifty -five, the mother of a daughter and her son. She had served three years of hard work, worked on a banana farm and cleaned an office.
Alina Morgon described it as a “disgraceful person”, but he said he did not seem to have suffered from his crimes or his attempt to flee to the United States since he was deported to Cuba, he returned to Las Kanas. She said, “We hear that he will be responsible for a store next to a slaughterhouse.” In the years that have passed on the protests, Las Caneas captured a new police station, his officers were repeatedly alternating across society in the team’s cars. “They want to send a message that if anyone thinks about doing anything like that again, they will go to prison for a long time.” This summer, the state -owned telecommunications agency suddenly raised the price of data plans throughout the country, while it was seen as an attempt to stop the flow of information.
