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.

Where I live a lady use to feed Elvis.
An 8 foot gator.
She’d go to Sam’s, get a big roaster chicken. Boil it and feed it to Elvis.
She passed away before Elvis ate her.
We all bet on when he would

1968-69. I was aboard USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) deployed in Tonkin Gulf. My berthing compartment was +100 degrees F all the time when deployed, no air conditioing anywhere except the Ready Rooms, just below the arresting gear, where planes landed on our roof daily and nightly. Bunks stack four high with about 18” in between.

So don’t complain, and GTFO!

I believe their stay is planned to be short here. It is a place to fast track them out of here.

Biden admin brought plane loads into the US and this place with an airstrip will take plane loads out.

The more of these facilities the better.

Bleak? That looks like summer camp accommodations.

Remember the pictures of Obama and Biden’s cages with dozens of men packed in cages with no beds or even enough space to lie down on the floor?

The media has both selective memory and double standards.

LOL, I agree. I think that these movies are a reflection of the new normal for adults now.

It does lack some homey like decor though. /s Perhaps a few paintings. Maybe a big screen TV running 24/7 schooling them on how they can return home and make their own countries great again.

Nothing hidden about it, it is a clear shot for miles, right out in the open.

Case in point, eh? From the UK...

POLL: Should the UK copy Trump’s tough tactics for dealing with migrants? Data shows border crossings have plummeted, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrests have doubled, and the number of people in detention is at an all-time high.

Meanwhile...

Nearly 20,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel this year, in a record high

Why is the UK's Deep State paying France ten figures in taxpayer money for this?!

Oh, jeez. From a few days ago...

NewsUKHome News UK prepares to announce ‘one in, one out’ migrant deal with France More than 17,000 migrants have crossed the English Channel in small boats so far this year

If that's true, that's not a deal, is it. That's surrender.

Thats the point.

This is really to drive self-depirtation numbers even higher.

And it will, especially with all the publicity the enemedia is foolishly giving it.

Trump is using their own worst instincts against them.

The man is a master.

Thank you again, God, for President Trump.

The best thing about it is its isolation.

It’ll be tough to protest.

LOL, compared to the crew berthing on the carrier I was on, the deck is nicer, and they have scuttlebutts close by...with cold water, no doubt.

And nobody walking by your rack in their clodhoppers, dragging equipment to and from the flight deck at all hours of the day and night!

They won’t be staying long.

Those who snuck across the southern border will be deported across the southern border. Florida is an excellent way station to deport them back to their home countries in Central and South America.

Isn’t it mostly on subs where space is limited that there is hot racking?

With the exception of the cages, they look very similar to the racks in boot camp.

I was in the Navy from 1976 to 1980 from 1982 to 1996. I served onboard five ships and never once had to hot rack. Now, I heard that was/is common on submarines.
