Florida has commenced construction on a new, temporary migrant detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” situated deep within the Everglades. This remote, ecologically sensitive wetland—home to alligators, crocodiles, and pythons—will serve as a natural barrier for the facility, which is designed to minimize the need for traditional security infrastructure.
