Trump's 'Alligator Alcatraz' Floods After Claiming It's 'Hurricane-Proof'

President Donald Trump's Florida 'Alligator Alcatraz' prison flooded last night as rain hit the state, hours after announcing facility would be 'hurricane-proof'. Custodians at Donald Trump's Alligator Alcatraz prison facility in Florida spent the morning cleaning up floodwater caused by 'garden-variety rain,' according to local news outlets.

The cleanup comes a day within opening the facility, which has drawn sickening comparisons. And just hours after Kevin Guthrie, executive director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management, assured visitors including Trump, who has been given a terrifying new nickname, it was 'hurricane-proof'.

The small summer rain, however, was enough to flood the facility and seep into the site and onto electrical cables on the floors, according to video posted online by Spectrum News reporter Jason Delgado. More photos show pools of water around the flagpoles, and videos show water rushing right under the door. It comes amid alarming fears over the president's health due to a injury being spotted.

The rainstorm produced a total inch and a half of rain, according to the Weather Channel. The Miami Herald reports that another witness said the rain lasted about 45 minutes and was so strong at points, the roof was shaking, and the sounds of rain on the tent drowned out Gov. Ron DeSantis, who was there speaking to press.

One user on X, seeing the video, laughed: 'Power cables running through standing water is a fantastic idea.' Others focused on the safety of Alligator Alcatraz, with another user pointing out: 'This is going to result in mold growing Mold sickness for all those national guard if they don’t care about the detainees And a Cat 2 is now not the norm in these storms we had as of last year This is a humanitarian disaster on so many levels.'

Trump's 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention camp is 44 miles south of Naples off U.S. route 41. Yesterday's tours revealed the administration's plans to hold up to 3,000 detainees in the facility, who will be monitored by about 1,000 staff members and more than 200 cameras.

Protesters have decried the facility as an inhumane makeshift prison camp, but supporters have embraced it as an 'innovative' and 'cost-effective' way for the federal government to operationalize enough detention space to carry out Trump’s mass deportation agenda. 'We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland and the only way out is, really, deportation,' Trump said, adding, 'This is an amazing thing that they’ve done here.'

Florida officials raced to erect the compound of heavy-duty tents, trailers and temporary buildings in eight days, as part of the state’s muscular efforts to help carry out Trump’s immigration crackdown. The center is estimated to cost $450 million a year, with the expenses incurred by Florida and reimbursed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a U.S. official said. Inside, rows of bunkbeds are surrounded by chain-link fencing, where migrants could be housed for days, weeks or months. Officials say detainees will have access to medical care, 24/7 air conditioning, and a rec yard, as well as support from attorneys and members of the clergy.
