We're 10 months in on Alligator Pelican, and there's no end in sight.

Just let them have it.

It's just so crazy to me.

So it was built by companies IRG Global Emergencies, who is a Texas company that got hired just weeks after they donated $10,000 to the Florida Republican Party.

Thus, since given multiple contracts in the millions alongside Gotham's LLC, who were offered the contract to start rebuilding Gaza by Jared Kushner.

It's fun, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, just loving life.

And death.

So alligator pelican was meant for the worst of the worst.

But truth is, it's mostly everyday people who just found themselves at the wrong place at the wrong time.

In fact, the first group of detainees were there solely on immigration violations and none on state criminal charges.

Now about 72% have no criminal record, according to the Americans for Immigrant Justice.

As of April 2026, there are 1,383 human beings held captive at Alligator Pelican, but the capacity is 5,000.

So they're looking to grow.

Current projections say that it has cost the American people $1.5 billion.

billion already and has an operating cost of 1.2 million dollars a day which breaks down to about 249 dollars per person per night the average cost per person at a normal ice facility with like walls and plumbing and grounded electricity is 187 dollars a day yep so we're just wasting money to torture people

No way.

Yeah.
