Trump Opens Controversial Florida Migrant Detention Center

News summary

President Donald Trump has opened a large immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades, called 'Alligator Alcatraz,' as part of his administration’s intensified crackdown on illegal immigration. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem recounted a disturbing incident involving a detained migrant, described as a cannibal, who allegedly began eating himself during a deportation flight, using the story to justify the removal of 'deranged individuals.' The center, with capacity for several thousand detainees, was rapidly built with Governor Ron DeSantis’s use of emergency powers; the National Guard will assist in expedited deportation proceedings. Immigration advocates and environmentalists have sharply criticized the facility’s harsh conditions and broader policy, which reportedly targets migrants regardless of criminal history. Trump and Noem dismissed these concerns, accusing media and political opponents of misrepresentation. The opening of 'Alligator Alcatraz' has led to ongoing protests and legal challenges.
