Bay Area congressman proposes renaming Florida prison after Donald Trump
Source: San Francisco Chronicle
WASHINGTON Rep. John Garamendi, D-Fairfield, and two other House Democrats want to name the Miami federal prison after former President Donald Trump.
The legislation, which has little chance of passing, would change the Federal Correctional Institution Miamis name to the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution. The prison, located about 90 miles from Trumps Mar-a-Lago resort, is a low-security facility that holds about 1,000 men convicted of federal crimes.
Former Trump adviser Peter Navarro is serving a four-month sentence at FCI Miami for contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena. Right-wing internet personality Anthime Gionet, known as Baked Alaska, was incarcerated in the same facility for two months in 2023 after pleading guilty to unlawfully protesting inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.
The legislation proposal came days after seven House Republicans introduced a bill to rename the Washington Dulles International Airport after Trump. (No California Republicans have signed onto the bill.)
