Trump and DeSantis Score a Win with “Alligator Alcatraz”
The new migrant detention center will be used to process and deport thousands of illegals.

_WHAT’S HAPPENING_
President Donald Trump visited Florida yesterday for the opening of a new migrant detention facility nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Everglades.
Constructed in just eight days due to being fast-tracked by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R), the facility will be used to hold thousands of detainees before being processed and deported.
Now, President Trump scores a win with a new facility that will speed up deportations, while DeSantis gets to show he’s a capable governor and loyal ally to a president popular in his state.
_THE FACTS_
The detention facility will hold up to 5,000 illegal migrants and includes air conditioning, medical care, and laundry facilities.
President Trump praised the project, saying it was “very exciting” and credited DeSantis for helping fulfill his deportation goals.
Interviewed inside the facility, Trump remarked, “Biden wanted me in here, OK? It didn’t work out that way, but he wanted me in here, that son of a b**ch.”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the facility will help detain “some of the worst scumbags” who entered under President Biden.
The site is surrounded by alligators, pythons, and marshland, making escape nearly impossible.
FEMA funds originally used to house migrants in hotels under Biden were redirected to support construction.
Environmental groups have filed lawsuits claiming the project threatens the Everglades ecosystem.
Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL), who is running for governor of the Sunshine State, reportedly called the facility a pipe dream and was blindsided by its approval.
