Unfortunately all the people bussed out of there are probably just headed to Louisiana. 5th Circuit has the *worst* immigration and civil rights caselaw, so they just coincidentally happen to send a ton of people here for removal hearings

Mar A Lago has been converted into a Maximum Security Holding Pen. Detainees will be charged $600.00 per night ($1,200.00 per night with Ocean View) plus meals and drinking water. And yes, they've drained the pool(s).

What makes it "suitable" is the horrific conditions. The inhumanity is a feature, not a bug.

"They have no way to bathe, no way to wash their mouths, the toilet overflows and the floor is flooded with pee and poop," the woman said. "They eat once a day and have two minutes to eat. The meals have worms,"
