Interesting paragraph from Heather Cox Richardson in today's Letters from an American [View all]

I haven’t been following the story of the Alcatraz of the Everglades , but she reports :
“ Inspections will be hard to conduct at the newly approved detention facility deep in the Florida Everglades designed to house up to 5,000 migrants. Members of the state legislature say they were not consulted about the plan. Florida says the new facility will cost about $450 million a year to operate. The federal government will reimburse that money through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). “
