Outrage over ICE agreements with Miami<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The agreement states that ICE must pay 50 dollars to the county to keep a migrant confined for 48 hours in a local prison and also grants the agency “reasonable access to all detainees” and “discretion” over what information to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, a Democrat, backs the accord that could allow ICE to prevent the county from publishing information about the detainees, which activists fear might mean they would “disappear from the system”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mayor insisted that she must sign the pact because the governor, Republican DeSantis, has pushed laws that require authorities in the 67 counties to cooperate with ICE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This is not something about which I have a choice about. This is the law of Florida and it was required that this agreement be signed. It came to board as a routine matter for ratification,” argued the official.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alert over migrant detention centers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Complaints from activists about the “inhuman conditions” of migrants detained in Florida keep growing. On Monday a Canadian who was under custody of ICE died in the Federal Detention Center in Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, DeSantis announced on Wednesday that he will build a migrant detention center in a National Guard camp southwest of Jacksonville, on top of the controversial ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ being built this week in the middle of the natural area of the Everglades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mar\u00eda Bilbao, campaign coordinator for the American Friends Service Committee in Florida, denounced that “Governor DeSantis is using cruelty as a political theater.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
“He wants to build a detention camp as a political theater in the Everglades, surrounded by alligators and the Florida extreme heat on land that befalls to this county,” she denounced at the hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Activist Luisa Su\u00e1rez accused the author of the proposal, Commissioner Roberto J. Gonz\u00e1lez, of “hypocrisy” for supporting ICE even though he immigrated to the United States from Guatemala at the age of 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You wouldn’t be in the US or your county commissioner seat if masked violent aggressors took you illegally away inside an immigration court while your lawyer was in the bathroom or while the judge was printing a document that protected you from inhumane detention. So I don’t understand the hypocrisy,” she expressed before having her microphone forcibly removed. EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
