Florida has initiated the construction of a migrant detention center dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' in the Everglades after receiving approval from the DHS. Spearheaded by Attorney General James Uthmeier, the facility aims to support President Trump's immigration policies. It will house migrants awaiting deportation, using heavy-duty tents and trailers due to expected high summer temperatures. Officials are fast-tracking the development, with a goal of having 5,000 beds operational by early July, while emphasizing minimal infrastructure due to the natural landscape's inherent security features.
"We are working at turbo speed on cost-effective and innovative ways to deliver on the American people's mandate for mass deportations of criminal illegal aliens," Noem told TIME in an emailed statement.
"We don't need to build a lot of brick and mortar thankfully. Mother Nature does a lot on the perimeter," he said regarding security efforts.
