Venezuela, Home to Some of World’s Most Atrocious Political Prisons, Complains ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Is Racist

Venezuelan Interior Minister and wanted drug lord Diosdado Cabello claimed on Wednesday that the illegal migrant detention center at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, commonly known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” is a “concentration camp” and evidence of the United States’ “racism and supremacism.”

Cabello, who leads the Venezuelan socialist regime’s repressive apparatus and is wanted by U.S. authorities on multiple narco-terrorism charges, levied his accusations during the latest broadcast of his weekly socialist show Hitting with the Mallet. According to Cabello, who condemned the facility as a “concentration camp,” the purported objective of the detention center is to “wipe out people who do not share the same line of thinking as the fascist extremists,” asserting that “there are no human rights in the United States.”

“So they built a prison right now with protection from supposed alligators and snakes, so that anyone who escapes will be caught outside. Part of the movie,” Cabello said. “Those who are taken there will be taken without having committed any crime, they are going to be locked up in a concentration camp of the new fascism, the new Nazism.”

“Neo-fascism is trying to impose this model, to eliminate any form that is not part of the group to which they belong,” he continued. “It’s racism, racism, believing oneself to be superior, supremacism, believing oneself to be superior. Anyone who isn’t like me, from my social class, with my skin color.”
