President Trump is making good on his border security promises in spectacular fashion.
Florida has constructed something unprecedented in immigration enforcement.
And Donald Trump is about to visit one facility that has illegal aliens terrified beyond belief.
Trump set to attend grand opening of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’
President Donald Trump is expected to attend the grand opening of Florida’s groundbreaking new immigration detention facility on Tuesday, according to Reuters and NBC News.
The facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, represents a revolutionary approach to immigration enforcement that has captured national attention.
Governor Ron DeSantis announced last week that the facility would be operational by Tuesday and personally invited President Trump to attend the grand opening ceremony.
The detention center is strategically positioned in the heart of the Florida Everglades at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, creating what DeSantis calls the most secure immigration facility in the nation.
DeSantis explained during a recent tour with Fox & Friends host Steve Doocy that the facility would be operational for processing illegal aliens by Tuesday.
The facility can house several thousand illegal aliens and includes comprehensive processing capabilities, housing areas, food service, and legal consultation spaces as required by federal law.
Attorney General Uthmeier announced on The Benny Show that the facility will feature 5,000 beds and is expected to be operational by early July, with construction having already begun.
DeSantis explains why the location is genius
The governor highlighted the unique security advantages of placing the detention facility deep in the Everglades, surrounded by natural barriers that make escape virtually impossible.
DeSantis emphasized the unique security advantages of the Everglades location, noting that any escape attempts would face dangerous wildlife and vast distances to civilization.
The remote location serves multiple purposes beyond security, according to DeSantis.
The facility takes “this deportation mission out of the hair of our local and state law enforcement” and “has no impact on Florida residents” who might otherwise be affected by operations in more populated areas.
Florida’s Division of Emergency Management is overseeing the project, bringing expertise from hurricane response operations to immigration enforcement.
DeSantis highlighted how Florida’s emergency management expertise transfers to immigration operations, comparing the logistics to hurricane response staging operations.
Florida GOP capitalizes on ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ popularity
The facility has generated such enthusiasm among supporters that the Republican Party of Florida began selling merchandise themed around “Alligator Alcatraz.”
The GOP described the facility in promotional materials as “Florida’s gator-guarded, python-patrolled prison for illegal aliens who thought they could game the system.”
Republican promotional materials describe the facility as designed for illegal aliens who attempted to game the immigration system, emphasizing the natural barriers of the swamp environment.
The merchandise campaign emphasizes keeping “Florida tough on crime and tougher on borders,” reflecting the state’s aggressive approach to immigration enforcement.
DeSantis stressed that the facility represents optimal cooperation between federal, state, and local authorities in executing President Trump’s deportation agenda.
DeSantis stressed the importance of state and federal cooperation in immigration enforcement, noting Florida’s leadership role and hoping other states would follow their model.
Left-wing activists panic over effective immigration enforcement
The facility’s effectiveness has triggered predictable outrage from immigration activists who gathered to protest outside the detention center over the weekend.
Hundreds of protesters voiced opposition to both the facility’s mission and its environmental impact, according to Fox 4 News.
Immigration activist Ashley Santoro expressed strong opposition to the project, calling it wasteful government spending and a violation of human rights principles.
Environmental concerns were also raised by protesters, with one activist arguing that “putting a prison in the Everglades is not natural.”
Despite the protests and a pending lawsuit against the facility, DeSantis confirmed that operations will begin as scheduled on Tuesday.
The facility utilizes four large tents equipped with extensive air conditioning and comprehensive amenities for both detainees and staff, including laundry and shower facilities.
Florida has emerged as the national leader in cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement under President Trump’s second administration.
Both state-level and local law enforcement agencies throughout Florida have been assisting broadly in immigration enforcement efforts, helping free up federal resources for deployment in uncooperative blue jurisdictions.
Operating the detention center will cost the state approximately $450 million a year, according to a senior DHS official, but federal reimbursement is expected through FEMA.
DeSantis noted the facility’s efficient transportation logistics, describing how detainees could be quickly moved from processing to deportation flights.
