Trump Visits Controversial 'Alligator Alcatraz' Detention Camp in Florida Everglades

Donald Trump toured 'Alligator Alcatraz', a new migrant detention jail in the Florida Everglades, celebrating the harsh conditions detainees would face. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supported the camp as a model for mass deportation. Protesters opposed the camp's environmental impact and treatment of detainees. Trump joked about escaping from alligators and dismissed concerns about conditions. The camp, costing $450m, will be patrolled by the Florida national guard.

Immigration advocates criticized the use of such a harsh facility for undocumented individuals. The camp is opening amidst a rise in deaths in Ice custody. Critics argue the camp is designed to cause suffering. Environmentalists and Native American tribes have challenged the location of the facility. Democratic politicians have condemned the camp as cruel and torturous.
