The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) approved an immigrant detention center in Florida, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” to be built, according to a report from the New York Times.
As Breitbart News reported, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier initially pitched the idea to turn the “virtually abandoned Miami-Dade Collier Training Facility” into a detention center to house illegal aliens, which would be guarded by alligators and pythons:
“I think this is the best one. I call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.’ This 30 square mile area is completely surrounded by the Everglades — presents an efficient, low cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you don’t need to invest that much in the perimeter,” he said. If detainees were to escape, “there’s not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons.”
Per the New York Times, the facility would be “composed of large tents, and other planned facilities will cost the state around $450 million a year to run”:
The remote facility, composed of large tents, and other planned facilities will cost the state around $450 million a year to run, but Florida can request some reimbursement from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, said Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
