Crime is an indigenous human problem, from the beginning of time. Throughout history and around the world, criminals have always been dealt with harshly. When settlers come to America, crime is mostly a community decision, with the outcomes ranging from the scar-colored “a” branding of adulterers to the looting of public squares and the death penalty.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is facing a funding dilemma for an immigration detention center known as the “Crocodile Alcatraz” built in the Florida Everglades. Last week, an appeals court panel temporarily blocked a lower court’s decision to order the governor’s administration to abolish operations at the facility. But the verdict sets a predicament. The state risks giving or receiving the hundreds of millions of dollars of federal refunds spent on building and operating the facility, or taking money, and halting the operation of the center in the face of environmental reviews.
