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 effort by Trump, DeSantis, and Noem to turn part of the Everglades into a prison for migrants desecrates the famed Florida ecosystem.

Hundreds of immigrants with no criminal charges are being held at a state-run immigration detention camp in the Florida Everglades that President Trump and his allies have dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," according to records obtained by the Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times.

"I've called, I've emailed everybody and their grandmother and their grandmother's sister. Nobody emails you back and nobody calls you back," said one immigration attorney.

Deep in the hazardous and ecologically fragile Everglades, hundreds of migrants are confined in cages in a makeshift tent detention facility Florida’s Republican governor calls “safe and secure” and Democratic lawmakers call “inhumane.

Governor Henry McMaster and Lt. Governor Pamela Evette have recently appeared open to creating a facility similar to "Alligator Alcatraz" in South Carolina. READ MORE:
