Florida has opened a tough new immigration detention center called “Alligator Alcatraz.” It sits deep in the Everglades swamps. The state built it to lock up illegal immigrants. Officials say it sends a clear message to border crossers.
The facility has massive security with 28,000 feet of barbed wire fencing. Over 200 cameras watch every corner. Four hundred guards patrol the grounds day and night. Even the air conditioning runs nonstop in the hot Florida weather.
President Trump personally toured the site with Governor DeSantis. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined them. They inspected the rows of detention beds. Trump called it a necessary step to protect America.
Noem warned illegals to leave now or face deportation. “Self-deport before we catch you,” she said. DeSantis agreed that smart criminals will flee themselves. He asked why anyone would choose jail over going home freely.
Retired ICE agent Victor Avila says the prison is a “home run.” Its scary alligator-filled location sends a big message worldwide. The nickname “Alligator Alcatraz” strikes fear. Lawbreakers know Florida means business.
The Justice Department just filed papers to keep construction moving fast. Biden appointees tried to slow down the project. But patriots in government fought back. Now the detention center will open fully soon.
This is how real immigration enforcement works. Weak leaders let criminals walk free. Strong leaders build prisons in alligator country. Florida shows other states how to defend their borders.
America must protect its citizens first. Facilities like this make our streets safer. Liberals hate it because they want open borders. True patriots know this keeps families safe.
