The Trump administration seeks to expand its migrant detention system by opening several new centers across the country based on the Alligator Alcatraz model in Florida's Everglades. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that these new facilities will primarily be located near airports to facilitate more efficient deportations. Some states are showing interest in participating, particularly those with underutilized facilities. Indiana has already been announced as a location for a new center, while construction is being considered in Arizona, Nebraska, and Louisiana as well. Noem emphasized that the new model improves upon current contracts with local jails and for-profit prisons.
