Dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the massive tent detention complex built deep in the Florida Everglades can hold 3,000 and could be the template for other facilities in other states.

The camp was first announced by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is DeSantis’ former chief of staff and was manager of the governor’s unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, late last month.

Following the opening of 'Alligator Alcatraz', Camp Blanding is set to become the state’s second immigration detention center. What you should know.

Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie said Monday on Fox News’ “Jesse Watters Primetime” that giving Democrats a tour of “Alligator Alcatraz” had been “taxing,” with some allegedly trying to exaggerate their experience.

It seems that we’ve entered into the concentration camp era of President Donald Trump’s second term. To some, that might appear like an excessively harsh attribution and perhaps a misuse of the term.

Hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges in the United States are being held at Alligator Alcatraz, a detention facility state and federal officials have characterized as a place where “vicious” and “deranged psychopaths” are sent before they get deported, records obtained by the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times show.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis claims new migrant detention center has “zero” environmental impact. That’s not possible, experts say.
