Florida Governor Ron DeSantis introduced the construction of a new migrant detention facility, dubbed Alligator Alcatraz, aimed at increasing deportations. During an interview on Fox News, DeSantis explained that the facility will house up to 5,000 undocumented immigrants and provide the necessary processing space for federal deportation efforts, costing approximately $450 million annually. He assured that the facility would not harm the Everglades and highlighted his commitment to Everglades restoration—claiming it would relieve pressure on local jails and enhance federal resource allocation in immigration enforcement.
DeSantis emphasized that the facility is designed to temporarily detain undocumented immigrants to facilitate their quick deportation, acting as a support system for federal immigration efforts.
He stressed the Alcatraz's construction will have no adverse impact on the Everglades, asserting he has prioritized Everglades restoration as governor.
