Stark first photos from inside ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ reveal bleak digs for up to 5,000 migrants

The first photos of “Alligator Alcatraz” give a bleak inside look at the new migrant center deep in the Florida Everglades — as authorities prepare to stash up to 5,000 detainees in wire cages there.

Video taken during a tour by President Trump on Tuesday revealed rows upon rows of empty industrial metal bunk beds enclosed in hastily constructed cages made up of chain fences.

“[President] Biden wanted me in here, that son of a b—h,” President Trump said jokingly Tuesday as he was shown around the vast secure facility hidden within the subtropical wetlands of South Florida teeming with alligators, crocodiles and pythons.

Better than bunking on a submarine...or a Stealth on the way to Iran...

3 hots and a cot with AC! Beats the Shiite out of where they’re from. Of course the ones that were fortunate enough to get the 5 star hotels in NY will be upset.

“”””Not to mention that citizenry of every other country on the planet with open borders thanks to their Deep State is watching Trump do this...””””

Exactly, a lot of what ICE is doing now is to turn off the appeal of sneaking into America, to make it appear harsh and unrewarding, to create new images of those trying it being pursued relentlessly and caught, and then dealt with firmly with scary unknowns and negative results with no gain or payoff possible, the same efforts and imagery promote self deportation.

Imagery of nothing but loss for those trying to get here, and those already here better try to sell their stuff and liquidate and then leave before ICE takes them away and leaves their cars and valuables on the street and in their apartments and the culprits are sent back to their homelands with nothing but the clothes on their back.

“Inhumane”? What’s “inhumane” is what the dems are doing to this country, favoring illegal scum over hard working American citizens. Letting illegal criminals walk the streets, rapists, child molesters, murderers. That’s what I call “inhumane”.

I worked for the DoD for almost 31 years supporting the US Navy warfighter.

In that time I heard many stories from vets and retirees I worked with about the subject.

Maybe those stories were from “back in the day” but still happened none the less.

Would you agree that these shelters are more comfortable than what you experienced aboard ship?

Nope....and the fact that there’s a functioning airstrip adjacent to the facility is brilliant.

There’s also going to be one in northeast Florida at Camp Blanding......that’s just south of where I am......the libs are shittin’ bricks. Lol!

“No A/C”

There’s a kick-ass A/C system there. When DeSantis and Steve Doocey did a walkthrough, there were banks of huge HVAC units for the place.

Now show a picture of the enlisted, officer and CO accommodations on a nuclear submarine. That looks luxurious. They probably don’t have water restrictions either.

As someone else said, it’s probably 5x better than where they came from......and will be going back to.

“Animals belong in cages!”

Human criminals belong in cages. Animals don’t behave as badly as these “people” do. Most should be able to run free, especially gators and pythons in the Everglades.

Yeah; taxpayers are an unlimited source of $$$$$ for the government. Country Club digs for foreign law-breakers who produce NOTHING but liabilities to "Benefits".

Put a bounty on EVERY non-Citizen for identification and deportation, and we'd save taxpayers BILLIONS.
