NEW YORK POST
A group of House Democrats on Friday unveiled legislation that would rename a Florida federal prison after former President Donald Trump.
The bill seeking to redesignate the Miami Federal Correctional Institution as the Donald J. Trump Federal Correctional Institution was introduced in response to a Republican-backed measure that called for Dulles International Airport in Virginia to be renamed after the 45th president.
“When our Republican colleagues introduced their bill to rename Dulles after Donald Trump, I said the more fitting option would be to rename a federal prison,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.), one of the three Democrats sponsoring the legislation, said in a statement.
“I see no reason to wait,” the congressman, whose district encompasses parts of the Dulles airport, added.
“It is only right that the closest federal prison to Mar-a-Lago should bear his name,” Connolly continued. “I hope our Republican friends will join us in bestowing upon Donald J. Trump the only honor he truly deserves.”
Reps. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.) and John Garamendi (D-Calif.) joined Connolly in sponsoring the legislation.
