It will launch today (1/7) the new “Alligator Alcatraz” (Alcatraz) (alligator) (alligator) immigrant detention center in Eberglids, Florida. The goal is to imprison illegal immigrants who will not be able to escape as anyone who dares it will face alligators and pythons!
The Trump government turns the remote Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport into a facility that, according to authorities, can accommodate up to 5,000 people. The operation of the installation begins today and is part of Trump’s efforts to intensify deportations by increasing the reservation capacity. The president has already sent immigrants to the Gulf of Guantanamo and to the Grand Prison in El Salvador.

Alcatraz with alligators: At $ 450 million per annual cost
Source told ABC that the costs for Alcatraz with alligators would be $ 450 million a year, with part of them being covered by FEMA’s Shelter and Services program.
“You don’t have to invest much in the fence. If someone escapes, he expects nothing except alligators and pythons. Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, “wrote Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmaier.
“Alligator Alcatraz and other similar facilities will enable us to imprison some of the worst criminals who entered our country under the previous government. We will extend the facilities and beds within a few days, thanks to our collaboration with Florida. Let’s make America safe again, “Interior Security Minister Christie Noem said yesterday.
According to White House spokesman Caroline Levit, Trump’s visit will be an opportunity for the president to put forward funding for more detention facilities and to promote the mass deportation policy included in his large bill, which is expected to vote on Tuesday and Tuesday.

Protesters gathered along the highway crossing Eberglids on Saturday, including activists and indigenous Americans defending their ancestral homelands. Others complained about the treatment of immigrants.
The Attorney General (Minister of Justice) James Atmier noted that the installation of about 77,000 acres “offers an effective opportunity, not particularly expensive, to build a temporary detention center, as it is not necessary to invest much for the perimeter”.
The facilities
Levit described the remote location of the installation at Monday’s press conference.
“There is only one road that drives in, and the only way to get on is on a non -return flight,” he said. “It is isolated and is surrounded by dangerous wildlife and hard soil. The installation will have up to 5,000 beds to house, process and deport criminals illegal aliens. This is an efficient and low -cost method for implementing the largest mass expulsion campaign in US history, ”he said.
When asked about the remote and dangerous location, Levit said that this is part of the planning to prevent escape.
“Look, when you have murderers, rapists and cruel criminals in a detention center surrounded by alligators, yes, I think this is a deterrent to escape. We know that some of these criminals have escaped from other facilities. We want to protect the American people and remove what threatens public security, “he said.
