<p><span style="font-weight:400">Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted a </span><a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/1935741644101374271" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">video</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> offering a facility for temporary housing for illegal aliens. Uthmeier calls the location “Alligator Alcatraz” due to its location in the Everglades.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">In the video posted Thursday, Uthmeier exhibits the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, located about 50 miles west of Miami in the Florida Everglades. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Uthmeier described the location as, “an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Although the facility has been nearly abandoned, Uthmeier claimed that it could be operational in 30-60 days. After construction, Uthmeier said that “Alligator Alcatraz” would be able to temporarily house around 1000 illegal aliens.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">In an </span><a href="https://x.com/AGJamesUthmeier/status/1935776850275393630" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">interview</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> with Fox News’s John Roberts, Uthmeier said “We’re going to continue to [detain and deport]. We’ve got thousands of arrests underway. We’re going to enforce the law.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Uthmeier also commented that, “Florida has been leading on immigration enforcement, supporting the Trump administration and ICE’s effort to detain and deport criminal aliens.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">This comes as Stephen Miller, the White House’s deputy chief of staff and homeland security advisor, </span><a href="https://x.com/FoxNews/status/1928203005075058782" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">confirmed</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> the Trump administration had set a minimum goal of 3,000 arrests of illegal aliens per day.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Florida has seen record success at arresting illegal aliens. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) reported </span><a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/ice-arrests-100-illegal-aliens-during-targeted-enforcement-operation-tallahassee" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">one operation</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> in Tallahassee in which over 100 illegal aliens were arrested at a construction site on May 29th.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Another success for ICE and local Floridian law enforcement professionals occurred between April 21st and 26th. Over 1,100 illegal aliens, including members of violent foreign terrorist organizations as well as 378 aliens with final orders of removal, were arrested in the </span><a href="https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/largest-joint-immigration-operation-florida-history-leads-1120-criminal-alien-arrests" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight:400">largest joint immigration operation</span></a><span style="font-weight:400"> in Florida history. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Uthmeier said that, “The governor tasked state leaders to identify the places for new, temporary detention facilities. I think this is the best one. As I call it: Alligator Alcatraz.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">The 30-square-mile, secluded area offers an efficient and low-cost option for temporarily holding illegal aliens while they wait to be deported, claimed Uthmeier. The facility’s location in the heart of the Everglades limits the necessity to invest in a perimeter fence. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Uthmeier called the facility “Alligator Alcatraz” because of the risk of attempting to escape, just like with Alcatraz prison in the San Francisco Bay. The Florida Everglades is well-known for its alligator and python populations.</span></p>
