Overnight, workers replaced the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport sign with one that reads "Alligator Alcatraz." While on the road that turns into the facility, a new sign also bears the name.

In the overnight hours between Wednesday and Thursday, vans could be seen coming in and out of the (apparently) newly-christened "Alligator Alcatraz," the migrant detention facility deep in the Everglades.
Though NBC6 has not received official confirmation about the name of the facility or arrival of detainees—which had been expected on Wednesday, a day after the opening of the detention center—our cameras caught several vans with government license plates driving in and out of the area.
The vehicles were similar to the ones U.S. Customer and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) has previously used to transport migrants.
Food trucks and other vehicles were also seen entering the facility, which is expected to be able to hold around 3,000 detainees upon completion, late Wednesday.
And overnight, workers replaced the Dade Collier Training and Transition Airport sign with one that reads "Alligator Alcatraz." While on the road that turns into the facility, a new sign also bears the name.
On Tuesday, President Donald Trump visited the facility along with Gov. Ron DeSantis and other officials.
The president said the moniker "Alligator Alcatraz" is “very appropriate because I looked outside and that’s not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon.”
“The only way out, really, is deportation,” Trump added.
The White House has delighted in the area’s remoteness — about 50 miles (80 kilometers) west of Miami — and the fact that it is teeming with pythons and alligators. It hopes to convey a message to detainees and the rest of the world that repercussions will be severe if the immigration laws of the United States are not followed.
The center was built in eight days over 10 miles (16 kilometers) of Everglades. It features more than 200 security cameras, 28,000-plus feet (8,500 meters) of barbed wire and 400 security personnel.
“Alligator Alcatraz” is the shame of America!
‘Alligator Alcatraz’ signs go up outside migrant detention center in Everglades!
Then we should give them an official name: One of the murder/rape victims of these illegal monsters. Then keep the "Alligator Alcatraz" moniker on the signs.
Excellent!
maybe {Bottom of the Food Chain a Head} ?
Lol That works, too.
Very cool!
“Alligator Alcatraz” is the shame of America!
Wrong!
Fail!
Booooo!
Permitting this nation to be invaded through open borders “...is the shame of America!”
Ask this alligator in the video if he cares about pythons:
'ICE with a bite" -- that's sure to get the Democrat bed wetters wetting their beds.
The leftists will fill their colostomy bags if they see that shirt.
Dinner for Days!
Yeah, but we don’t have to go Nazi!
And a few panthers...don’t forget about the panthers.
So now the gators have to decide what flavor they want for supper. Mexican? chinese? ???????????
There was a fatal bear attack on a man and his dog a few weeks ago near the Everglades. But the mosquitoes (the Florida State Bird) would be the worst. Escapees would come out looking like a raisin.
