Trump Tours Florida 'Alligator Alcatraz' Detention Center Housing 3,000 Migrants

News summary

President Donald Trump is set to visit a newly opened migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed 'Alligator Alcatraz' due to its remote swamp location inhabited by alligators and snakes. The $450 million-per-year facility, built rapidly with tents and trailers, can hold up to 3,000 undocumented immigrants and is surrounded by dangerous wildlife, which state officials tout as natural security. Trump joked about teaching inmates how to evade alligators if they escape, underscoring the harsh conditions. The facility, backed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and state Attorney General James Uthmeier, has sparked significant backlash from Democrats, environmentalists, and immigration activists who decry it as cruel and environmentally harmful. The administration released an AI-generated image depicting alligators as guards, further fueling controversy and accusations of state-sponsored intimidation. Despite the opposition, White House officials emphasize the center's efficiency in supporting what they describe as the largest mass deportation campaign in American history.
