Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is sending a strong message to those opposing his “Alligator Alcatraz” project: don’t expect any sympathy.
The governor recently announced the creation of a new detention center deep in the Everglades, designed to house illegal immigrants until deportation. The facility is strategically located in an area teeming with alligators and pythons, making escape nearly impossible without risking deadly encounters with the surrounding wildlife.
As Alligator Alcatraz gears up for its expected opening on Tuesday, demonstrators flooded Florida’s streets to voice their opposition to Governor DeSantis’ controversial new facility.
However, DeSantis issued a blunt warning to protesters: stay out of the streets or be prepared to face the consequences, emphasizing that if someone gets hurt while blocking traffic, the responsibility lies with them.
“If you’re driving on one of those streets, and a mob comes and surrounds your vehicle, and threatens you, you have a right to flee for your safety. And so if you drive off, and you hit one of these people, that’s their fault for impinging on you,” DeSantis said.

Szypula 🇺🇸 (@Bubblebathgirl) June 28, 2025 As I reported earlier, DeSantis gave Americans a first look at "Alligator Alcatraz"—a new detention center surrounded by natural barriers, including alligators and pythons. The facility sits conveniently next to a deportation airstrip, streamlining the removal process.
Each tent at the facility will handle different tasks. For instance, one tent will handle intake and processing, another will serve meals, and a third will provide space for legal consultations. DeSantis emphasized that the facility won’t disrupt local communities, adding that the location, a seldom-used airstrip, operates independently and requires only minimal logistical support to function efficiently, stressing that it has no impact on Florida residents.
ROAD TRIP !!!!!
bingo
Create a road blockage so they can’t get out and get to spend a hot summer night with the mosquitoes.
It would be convenient if protestors caught blocking roads could be sent to Alligator Alcatraz for processing.

Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat?
Summer’s here and the time is right
For making pancakes on the streets.
Get in the way of a moving car🚘🚘🚘🚘
and you’ll end up mixed with hot road tar🌞🌞🌡️🌡️
I’ll tell you all you won’t get far
We’re making pancakes on the street.
When I was stationed in GE a soldier was drunk and walked across the road. Got hit right away by a car. The Polizei cane to his hospital room and dropped the ticket and charges on his bed.
In GE if a person walks into the road and is hit by a car the violation is on the jaywalker. They are ticketed and fully responsible for all vehicle repair costs. The Polizei will come to the hospital to deliver the citation, court assigned costs and the victim’s repair estimate.
The jaywalker kept saying “he didn’t even slow down”. Yeah, well duh, he’s looking at getting a free new front end for his car and a paint job from you.
If you surround my car, it’s an assault. Nobody has to stick around to find out if somebody intends to assault you until they are punching you in the face.
Hear that horn? Ewww. Too late...
One wonders how they'll handle septic effluent. That area is REALLY flat. There's lots of standing water atop an impermeable lime-rock substrate which isn't amenable to on-site disposal by leach field. Some people have to truck it out. None of that is cheap.
When did parents stop teaching their children not to play in traffic? At least their remain will be easy to dispose of, just toss them a few feet off the road and let the gators clean up the mess. Although if gators have any taste they will spit them out.
Nice work, Gov. DeSantis!
Excellent!
Maybe we'll get some good videos of rioters hit so hard they go airborne!
The only road in and out is Tamiami Trail. Protesters would be stupid to go out there.
Septic tanks. When the red light comes on, call Ron.
Come on Desantis!!
Stopping traffic is violence and
blocking people is violence.
STOP LEFTIST VIOLENCE!
Throw the roadkilled protesters to the alligators!
“Protesters would be stupid to go out there”
I’m going with “Protesters are stupid enough to go out there”
If you block the roads in Florida …… wear a toe tag!
