Governor Ron DeSantis gave Fox News host Steve Doocy an exclusive tour of “Alligator Alcatraz,” showcasing Florida’s bold new immigration detention facility in the Everglades. This high-security site features holding units for hundreds of detainees and is surrounded by gator-infested swamps, making escapes nearly impossible. President Trump will officially open the facility today, highlighting its role in America’s toughest border crackdown.
The remote location—dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” for its harsh environment—uses the Everglades’ natural barriers as a security measure. Only one road leads in, and the only exit is by air transport. This design ensures dangerous criminals stay off our streets while awaiting deportation. Florida partnered with federal authorities to rapidly build this solution, proving states can take real action against illegal immigration.
DeSantis emphasized efficiency, noting the onsite airstrip allows immediate deportations without bureaucratic delays. National Guard members will serve as immigration judges to speed up hearings, cutting through red tape that previously slowed removals. This common-sense approach saves taxpayer money and prioritizes Americans’ safety.
President Trump fully supports the facility, calling it key to his mass deportation campaign. His visit today with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Congressman Byron Donalds underscores its national importance. The administration plans similar facilities nationwide to finally secure our borders.
Critics whine about the Everglades’ ecosystem, but Florida is protecting both its environment and its citizens. Liberals would rather coddle criminals than defend law-abiding families. This facility ensures illegal aliens who break our laws face consequences, not red carpets.
Alligator Alcatraz’s 5,000 beds will handle the influx of criminal migrants overwhelming our communities. By detaining and deporting them swiftly, Florida sets a gold standard for other states. DeSantis’ leadership shows how conservatives get results where Washington fails.
Protesters complain about “cruelty,” but real cruelty is allowing illegal immigrants to victimize Americans. This facility isn’t just tough—it’s necessary to restore order. Patriots applaud DeSantis for putting Americans first, not violent offenders.
With this groundbreaking facility operational, America sends a clear message: Illegal immigration won’t be tolerated. States like Florida prove that strong borders and tough enforcement protect our jobs, schools, and neighborhoods. Alligator Alcatraz stands as a symbol of conservative resolve in the fight for national security.
