Trump's Tour to Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump toured 'Alligator Alcatraz' in the Florida Everglades, highlighting it as a potential model for future deportation facilities.
  • Built in eight days under Governor Ron DeSantis’s emergency order, funded partly by FEMA, and repurposed from an airport site in the Florida Everglades.
  • Site details show the facility spans 39 square miles, is ringed by 28,000 feet of razor wire, and employs 1,000 staff plus 400 security personnel with medical, legal, and recreational facilities.
  • First detainees are expected within 24 hours, while environmental groups filed a lawsuit on June 27 alleging law violations.
  • Trump and DeSantis promote the facility as a scalable model, urging other Republican states to replicate 'Alligator Alcatraz' nationwide for border enforcement.
