	"description": "Native history shows all too well the impact of forced relocation and internment and we’re not alone. The Cherokee people were brutally evicted from their homes and detained in “emigration depots” in Alabama and Tennessee as early as the 1830s. In the 1860s, the U.S. territorial authorities forced Dakota and Navajo peoples into internment camps. These weren’t anomalies. For decades, Natives were forcibly relocated and confined by the American government to locations that were often dangerous and barren of critical resources for even basic needs. During World War II, Japanese American citizens were arrested and incarcerated by the War Relocation Authority (WRA) in 10 internment camps across the country. The WRA was an American government agency created just for this purpose, a prototype for ICE today. This terrible history is repeating, targeting immigrants for now, but could once again expand to anyone. In June, Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis took a decommissioned airport in the Everglades surrounded on all sides by the Big Cypress National Preserve, home for the Miccosukee and Seminole Nations for centuries, and illegally built an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention camp they’ve called Alligator Alcatraz. People are packed into cages with overflowing toilets and sewage spilled on the floor, malfunctioning air conditioning in sweltering heat, and food that reportedly contains maggots. Florida has already expanded their plan to include a new location in Northern Florida they’re calling Deportation Depot. The conditions at this facility are also intentionally inadequate. From “traditional” ICE jails in Louisiana to these new concentration camps in Florida, human rights abuses appear to take place daily with no or extremely limited access to lawyers and constitutionally required due process. It’s incarceration intended to be more about cruelty than justice. All of this is on purpose, and with $10 billion in new funding provided by the recently passed Republican budget bill, the goal is for Alligator Alcatraz and Deportation Deport to just be the beginning. Now, the Nevada Republican Party is pushing for a new ICE concentration camp they want to call Coyote Compound. The only good news is that there’s still time to stop it from happening. A true swing state, Nevada’s Senators are both Democrats and Democrats control both chambers of the state legislature. The state’s Republican Governor cares about being reelected and Nevada voters already oppose his decision to allow the state’s national guard to assist ICE with “administrative tasks.” This means public pressure could have a huge impact on the future of Nevada’s cooperation and coordination with ICE. That’s why it’s more critical than ever for us to organize and speak out now.
