🦋 Alligator Alcatraz is already costing $608 million from FEMA The facility was said to cost $245 per bed daily but has risen to $331 within just a week of opening And that is only the beginning, when it comes to huge levels of much needed FEMA money being used to fund ICE operations 🦋

What a scourge on our country! Not only were these immigrants working, building homes and harvesting tomatoes, but they were likely paying taxes too, property taxes, income taxes, SS too! Now we are paying to torture them for instagram shots.

100%. The true costs are truly staggering.

Aside from being a political stunt, the immigration crackdown is an intentional and huge giveaway of the public treasury to the private prison industry and others for needless and shoddy facilities and service, startling with a useless wall.

If you're complaining about the high costs of maintaining a concentration camp, maybe you're focus is in the wrong place.

I disagree. What we are seeing is also a financial crime. This concentration camp is one giant crime against humanity and at the end of it one of the corrective actions will be to claw back the money these private prisons are laundering for the 🤡 and his family of despots.

That 170 billion + dollars is going to disappear like a fart in the wind. You’ll see.

That's why trump wants to get rid of FEMA...so he can steal all of its funds for other purposes like that gulag. 😡

Hotel Beacon is less, and right across from Fairway and the 1/2/3 train.

It started at $165 per day. Those rates are equivalent to a nice hotel room in Los Angeles.

I thought they were sending folks back to their home countries. So why do they need to be held at all??
