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.

There are videos of the signs at the link. No photos online yet that I can find.
Somebody has a wicked sense of humor.
That’s a nice sign.
Outside signs facing inward;
{ENTERING ALL THEY CAN EAT AREA}
“Gator GITMO”... LOL!
Nobody cares about the pythons. The alligators have a better agent.
I can only imagine how many T-shirt designs are already flooding the TShirtShacks.
I’d bet dozens.
Nice to see DeSantis has a sense of humor.
Gators snatching prisoners as they get off the busses has already altered the natural migration paths of the local alligators as they move to the food supply.
The guards are considering bringing in cats to keep the alligators at bay.
Anti-alligator cats in action.
