Trump tours ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ detention facility in Florida Everglades
President Donald Trump visited the newly constructed “Alligator Alcatraz” facility in the Florida Everglades on Tuesday, accompanied by Florida Governor Ron Desantis and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem. The facility, set to open on Wednesday, is designed to house some of the most dangerous illegal immigrants awaiting deportation.
Located in the remote swamplands of the Everglades, “Alligator Alcatraz” is surrounded by treacherous terrain, making escape nearly impossible. The facility, constructed on a former airport property in Miami-Dade County, boasts air-conditioned tents capable of housing up to 5,000 individuals.
During his tour of the facility, Trump expressed his satisfaction with the added security measures provided by the remote location. He emphasized the importance of deporting illegal immigrants back to their home countries, ensuring the safety and security of American citizens.
Governor Desantis, who authorized the construction of “Alligator Alcatraz” under an emergency order, highlighted the necessity of such a facility in the face of the overwhelming influx of illegal immigrants during the Biden administration. The detention center’s name is derived from its location in the heart of the Everglades, home to dangerous wildlife such as alligators and pythons.
The visit to “Alligator Alcatraz” underscores the Trump administration’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and protecting the borders of the United States. With the facility set to open soon, it will serve as a key component in the administration’s efforts to combat illegal immigration and uphold national security.
