‘A black hole’: Attorneys say they still can’t reach clients in Alligator Alcatraz (www.miamiherald.com)

One week after the first detainees began arriving at the Florida-run detention center for migrants in the Everglades, Miami immigration attorney Katie Blankenship showed up at the gates of Alligator Alcatraz with a list of five names and a demand: let me in to see them.

She waited two and a half hours, only to be told to put her name on a list and to wait between 24 and 48 hours for a call back.

“These folks have due process and the right to counsel,” Blankenship told the employee manning the gate on July 10. “They cannot be denied counsel for this long and we cannot have a black hole of information where we do not know how to contact clients.”

That call has yet to come.

If ONLY there was SOMETHING Attorneys could DO to the Individuals ILLEGALLY Blocking their Client's CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS! Oh well!

Like shoot them?

The Trump admin has the courts stacked to deny and delay as much as possible, and then MAGA just ignores rulings they don't like. There's no legal process to help these people.
