Alligator Alcatraz Detainees Claim ‘Grim’ Conditions Over Being Fed Ham Sandwiches

Migrant detainees being held in Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” have claimed conditions at the detention center are “grim,” citing how they’ve been fed “cold ham sandwiches,” according to The Washington Post.

Florida’s new detention center was officially approved by the Trump administration in June and opened weeks later, costing roughly $450 million for 5,000 beds to house illegal migrants and other foreign nationals. The Washington Post released a report Thursday with detainees, their relatives and former guards describing the conditions of the center.

Republican Florida lawmakers who toured the facility have also come forward to dispute Democrats, with Florida State Sen. Blaise Ingoglia dismissing the claims and telling Politico the center is “clean, air-conditioned, and well-kept.”

“The rhetoric does not match the reality,” Ingoglia told the outlet. “It’s basically all political theater coming from the [Democrats]. What they’re saying is pure bull s*@!.”

I had a fried bologna and cheese sandwich for dinner last night. Quit feeding them and see what they’ll eat. Ingrates.

They’ve been eating on our dime, both literally and figuratively for long enough. That’s what the detention center is for. And is conveniently next to a runway.

Something that made me feel affection for the Army was that sometimes when we would come in from a few days in the field wet, cold, and hungry, arriving at 1:00am or something with lot of work to do putting away gear or whatever after having put away the trucks and howitzers, someone would make us ham sandwiches, it was just big chunks of fatty coarse cut ham on dry white bread and water to drink but I liked the feeling that someone cared enough to have a cook wake up and put them together for us.

The tv show Soul Train did not pay the dancers , however, a fried chicken lunch was provided. Some folks tired of the fried chicken and asked for some variance. The next opportunity, they were fed baloney sandwiches. They asked that the fried chicken lunch return.
