Florida is taking bold action to protect our borders with a new migrant detention center in the Everglades. Attorney General James Uthmeier calls it “Alligator Alcatraz” because it uses the wild Everglades as a natural barrier. This facility will hold criminal aliens while they await deportation.
Uthmeier proposed this plan to support President Trump’s mission to secure our borders. The location is perfect because escaping prisoners would face dangerous alligators and pythons. This saves taxpayers money on expensive security measures.
Construction will finish quickly – within 30 to 60 days. The center can hold up to 1,000 illegal immigrants. Florida leaders worked fast to get this done after Governor DeSantis ordered them to find solutions.
The federal government approved the plan quickly. Homeland Security agreed to work with Florida under the 287g program. This lets our state law enforcement help federal immigration officers.
Illegal immigration threatens American families and communities. Criminals crossing our borders bring drugs and violence. We must stop this invasion to keep our neighborhoods safe.
Previous leaders failed to protect our borders. They let millions pour into our country illegally. President Trump and Governor DeSantis are finally taking real action.
This tough approach sends a clear message to criminals. If you break our laws, you’ll face serious consequences. Florida won’t be a sanctuary for lawbreakers.
Our state is leading the fight to restore security and common sense. Alligator Alcatraz shows the world America is serious about protecting its citizens.
