Protests erupted outside the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport against the construction of a large immigration detention center, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," located in the fragile ecosystem of the Everglades. The site, which is close to tribal lands and federally protected areas, is set to house undocumented immigrants as part of the Trump administration's policies. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis hinted at a presidential visit, while environmental groups have filed lawsuits in a desperate attempt to halt construction that threatens the delicate balance of the local environment and tribal heritage.
During the protest, a tribe member blessed the protesters opposing the construction of an immigration detention center in the Everglades, emphasizing cultural significance amid ongoing tensions.
The 'Alligator Alcatraz' facility is being rapidly constructed on federally protected land, raising concerns from environmentalists and local tribes regarding its impact on the surrounding ecosystem.
