Democrat State Lawmaker Says Trump Turning U.S. into ‘Fascist Police State’ by Holding Murderers and Pedophiles in Detention Facilities



by Hannah Knudsen 17 Jul 2025

A Democrat state senator from California is rejecting migrant detention facilities — holding some of the worst of the worst criminals convicted of murder, rape, and pedophilia — as “prison gulags,” bizarrely asserting that President Donald Trump is trying to establish a “fascist police state.”

“Trump is building a fascist police state, with Congress now giving him a massive slush fund to dramatically expand the ICE secret police and to build more private prison gulags, such as ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ and the CECOT in El Salvador,” state Sen. Scott Wiener wrote upon rumors of Attorney General Pam Bondi announcing plans to reopen Alcatraz prison, off the coast of San Francisco.

Wiener asserted that reopening Alcatraz is “absurd on so many levels,” citing the fact that it would ruin a popular tourist site.

“I’m very concerned that Trump will actually try to turn Alcatraz into a gulag to hold the political prisoners ICE is sweeping off the streets,” he said, apparently referring to criminal illegal aliens as “political prisoners.”

“We need to do everything in our power to fight this dangerous idea,” he added.

Absent from Wiener’s impassioned statement were the realities of whom the detention facilities are holding.

The vast majority of illegal aliens arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have criminal convictions or pending charges. Further, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) explained that many of the illegal aliens who are categorized as “non-criminals” are “terrorists, human rights abusers, gang members and more — they just don’t have a rap sheet in the U.S.”

70% of those arrested under President Trump’s ICE had criminal convictions or pending charges.

We’re talking murderers, rapists, and child predators.

This is what leadership looks like. No more catch-and-release—ONLY CATCH AND DEPORT!

Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin recently announced that officials have arrested nearly 600 known or suspected terrorists within the U.S. as well as “2,700 members of Tren de Aragua, a vicious gang that kills rapes and maims Americans for sport.”

“That is who these politicians are protecting. And unfortunately, because they won’t let us in these jails to lodge detainers and eventually deport these depraved individuals, we’re going to have to go out in the streets and really flood the zone to get these criminals off of our streets, and it makes it a lot less safe for these communities,” she stated.

Alligator Alcatraz — which Wiener decried, specifically — is holding some of the worst illegal migrants with hefty rap sheets, as Breitbart News reported:

For example, one inmate at Alligator Alcatraz is an MS-13 member named Oscar “Satan” Sanchez. His rap sheet includes assault and conspiracy to commit murder in New York.

A Guatemalan migrant by the name of Luis Donaldo Corado is also at the facility and has a criminal history that includes “burglary of an occupied dwelling, forced entry, and voyeurism.”

Eddy Lopez Jemot, hailing from Cuba, has a criminal history that includes the following: “Arson, assault — arrested for cutting the throat of an elderly woman in Key Largo, FL and lighting her home on fire to conceal the evidence.”

Notably, Jemot also threatened to kill another woman by “cutting off her head.”

Yet, the establishment media continue to defend these individuals. DHS had to put the Minnesota Star on blast after it essentially asserted that the alleged illegal immigrant pedophiles arrested by ICE as part of operations in Minneapolis had a fundamental “cultural misunderstanding.”
