“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

A 15 year old boy with no criminal history has been sent to Alligator Alcatraz
How much is too much?
amp.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
Alligator Alcatraz, the massive immigration detention center in Florida, was originally expected to cost taxpayers $450 million per year. Leaked documents show that, after being in operation for less than two weeks, the cost of the facility has ballooned to over $600 million. The 30-square-mile facility located in the Florida Everglades west of Miami—complete with a functional airstrip—was selected to house, process, and potentially directly deport up to 5,000 detainees.
At $600 million per year for 5,000 detainees, the Everglades detention facility would cost a whopping $328.77 per bed per day.
ICE's 2025 budget request read: "Average adult bed cost per day is $187.48 for FY 2023."

According to Yale experts, up to 35,000 Ukrainian children have been kidnapped and taken into russia and temporarily occupied territories, the Guardian article says.
