President Trump to Attend Grand Opening of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ This Week


President Trump’s attendance at the grand opening of Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ detention facility has been confirmed!

On Tuesday, the doors of the facility — which is located in the Florida Everglades, surrounded by miles of alligator-infested swamplands, and can hold thousands of illegal aliens — will officially open.

The facility is also located right next to an airstrip which can be used to facilitate fast and easy deportations for illegal criminals.

This is just hilarious:

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ was built very quickly, within just days of its announcement.

NBC News reported:

President Donald Trump is expected to be at the formal opening Tuesday of a controversial immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades that state leaders have dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.”

The Palm Beach Post reported Sunday that Federal Aviation Administration data indicated that Trump would be in South Florida for the opening. Two White House officials and a Florida official familiar with the travel confirmed to NBC News that Trump is “likely” to be there.

The facility is on a little-used airstrip in Miami-Dade County that Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration seized using emergency powers to build a housing facility for undocumented migrants. DeSantis issued an emergency order focused on immigration in early 2023, and he has since then extended it multiple times. The measure gives him significant authority to take actions such as seizing land. Some local political leaders in Miami-Dade County opposed DeSantis’ taking the land for the Everglades-based detention center.

The facility, which was set up quickly — in roughly one week — by the DeSantis administration, was the brainchild of state Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is DeSantis’ former chief of staff and one of his top political advisers.

The Hill says that DHS Chief Kristi Noem will also be in attendance:

Trump will be joined by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem at the opening on Tuesday, a source familiar with the plans confirmed to NewsNation correspondent Libbey Dean.

The main reason why it could be built so quickly is because much of the facility is re-purposed from hurricane shelters.
