If there’s nothing to hide, why hide everything?
Five Democratic state legislators were denied entry to Florida’s new immigration “detention center” deep in the Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz.”
According to State Sen. Shevrin Jones, officials claimed the lawmakers couldn’t enter due to “safety reasons,” yet gave no explanation and wouldn’t even say whether those same concerns apply to the migrants held inside. When the legislators pressed the Florida Department of Emergency Management for answers, the agency hung up on them.
Sen. Jones, Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, and Reps. Anna Eskamani, Angie Nixon, and Michele Rayner later issued a joint statement calling the denial unlawful.
This isn’t transparency. It’s secrecy. It’s stonewalling. It’s silencing. You don’t hang up the phone or block elected officials from oversight unless there’s something you don’t want the public to see.
We’ll drop a link in the comments so you can contact the Florida Department of Emergency Management directly and ask why elected officials were denied access. Cause some good trouble.
