President Donald Trump is visiting a new immigration detention facility in Florida's Everglades that can hold 5,000 detainees. The facility has faced protests from environmentalists and Native American leaders concerned about its impact and the sacredness of the land. The Trump administration argues that the facility's remoteness and dangerous surroundings send a strong message about the consequences of not following immigration laws. The center, informally termed "Alligator Alcatraz," aligns with Trump's hardline immigration policies and legacy of strict border enforcement.
The detention facility is located on an isolated airstrip in the Everglades, capable of housing 5,000 detainees, and is surrounded by alligators. Protests have arisen over its impact on the ecosystem and cries of cruelty towards immigrants.
The White House promotes the facility's isolation as a deterrent for immigrants, using its remote and dangerous environment to emphasize stringent immigration enforcement.
