Florida’s most senior Catholic leader, Archbishop Thomas Wenski, has condemned the new immigration detention center at Dade-Collier airport, officially known as “Alligator Alcatraz”, in an impassioned statement posted on the archdiocese of Miami’s website.
Wenski is a multilingual Florida native, described in an archdiocese biography as “the blond, blue-eyed son of Polish immigrants, he speaks Spanish like a Cuban, Creole like a Haitian and, ironically, only ‘limited’ Polish”.
After expressing sympathy for the goal of removing criminals from the United States, Wenski argued that “most immigrants are hardworking and honest and only want to build a hopeful future for themselves and their families”.
