The first detainees are expected to arrive at Alligator Alcatraz, a new Florida-run migrant detention center in the Everglades, on Wednesday night. Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced the detention center will take in hundreds of criminal illegal aliens. The opening of the facility occurred on Tuesday, accompanied by a visit from President Donald Trump. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are coordinating the schedule for detainee transportation to the new center.
"Alligator Alcatraz will be checking in hundreds of criminal illegal aliens tonight," Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said in a post on X, referring to the facility by the official name the state has given it. "Next stop: back to where they came from."
The facility opened on Tuesday with a visit from President Donald Trump. The timing of detainee arrivals at the detention facility in the Everglades was determined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, state officials told the Miami Herald.
