Dilly Detention Center #2, England Airpark prison for Children, Single Females and Single Mothers in Alexandria, Louisiana opens next week. Evil can dress up or "stage" it all they want, but if the people inside can't leave England Airpark, it is a prison; it is Dilly Detention Center #2.

Another reason England Airpark authority must cancel the contracts for the internment of children? Drinking level imprisonment site next to AEX and busiest deportation hub in Alexandria is 575,000 times higher than federal drinking water limit.

Next week, child detention begins at the 1611 Arnold Drive concentration camp site on Alec La's 9-mile "quality of life" biking loop. We tried to speak to the England Airpark [child detention/concentration camp] authority in Alexandria, Louisiana, but they refused to allow us into their meeting.

Be a voice for the voiceless. England Airpark Economic and Development District meeting site (1611 Arnold Drive, Alexandria, Louisiana 71303, 4pm Thursday) and the Child and Baby Internment site for 500 human beings are right next to each other. England Airpark Authority must cancel the contracts.

Thu Sept 24 is your last opportunity to express yourself before the unelected England Airpark Authority makes Louisiana the state that interns babies and children, not for a huge economic benefit to Louisiana, or EEIDD, but for a private entity in the business of imprisoning babies and children.

Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.
