Florida Democratic Lawmakers were denied entry to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ due to “safety concerns.” If it’s unsafe for lawmakers to visit, how is it safe for anyone inside?
- Florida lawmakers, Rep Anna Eskamani, Rep Carlos Guillermo Smith, Rep. Angie Nixon, and Rep. Michele Rayner were blocked from entering a state-funded detention site because of so-called ‘safety concerns’. This is a taxpayer-funded facility, run by the State of Florida.
- Our elected officials have every legal right to walk through those gates. What are Ron DeSantis and his administration trying to hide?
- DeSantis is stealing $450 million of taxpayer dollars—money that should be going to fix Florida’s property insurance crisis, strengthen public schools, expand Medicaid, and build affordable housing. Everyday Floridians and immigrant families are paying for this cruel political stunt.
