Trump Visits Florida's “Alligator Alcatraz” Amid Immigration Crackdown
2 days ago
President Donald Trump says migrants would need to know “how to run away from an alligator” to flee the new detention center he’s visiting in a remote area of the Florida Everglades. Trump toured the facility on Tuesday, getting a firsthand look at what the White House suggests will be especially secure given its dangerous natural surroundings. The center has been assembled on an isolated airstrip and has drawn protests over the potential impact on a delicate ecosystem and for a potentially cruel message the Republican president is trying to send to immigrants. A key selling point for the White House is the site’s remoteness.
