TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida is now using emergency powers to take over a remote, 30-square-mile site in the Everglades to build what some are calling "Alligator Alcatraz."

The site is located at the abandoned Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport.

The Florida Division of Emergency Management confirmed in a June 23 letter to Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava that it is immediately occupying the property to support federal immigration enforcement.

The state said the site will hold up to 5,000 immigration detainees and will operate under the current state of emergency. Construction is already underway.

Can hardly wait for the liberals to travel to this garden spot so they can inspect the living conditions. Hope they have to wait in the beautiful Florida sun and marvel at all the wildlife

Those reporters-I would not be able to report it with a straight face. I’d have a smirk at minimum.

Those big rigs in the pic would suggest there’s land access to the place.
Hopefully the new buildings will be able to stand up to a hurricane. Wouldn’t want to wake up cuddled up with a snake.

You’re gonna need a bigger prison, ICE in Florida is on a roll:

This is just the start:

U.S. Immigration and ... the state of Florida, led a first-of-its-kind statewide operation netted 1,120 criminal illegal alien arrests

Nearly 800 illegal immigrants were arrested this week as part of a massive Florida roundup led by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local agencies.

ICE arrests 100+ illegal aliens during targeted enforcement operation in Tallahassee.

ICE officers and agents in Miami netted 32 illegal aliens from Guatemala, Haiti, Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador, Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Cuba, and Nicaragua.

The state said the site will hold up to 5,000 immigration detainees

Really smart. The real question is, how fast can they process detainees. If you can process 5,000 a week, you can deport a quarter million per year and one million in Trump's 4 year term. So if another 20-25 states can set this up, we can get rid of the 20 million we need to deport in the next 4 years.

The liberals sure will be triggered about this.

I have a feeling that the aliens there will be treated humanely and with respect.

But none of that will matter to the liberals, who will compare this place to a prison.

Heck, they’re going to be given due process in this place. The liberals have been all over due process as the buzzwords, for what should happen with illegals.

But none of that will matter. The MSNBC crowd has already decided, this place is a prison.

Don’t those protesters care about animals? Gators and pythons need to eat, too. It’s a win/win!
