US EditionFlorida attorney general pitches ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ to hold migrants
FLORIDA EVERGLADES, JUN 19 – Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proposes a 1,000-bed temporary detention center to address overcrowding in ICE facilities amid increased immigration enforcement.
- Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proposed building a large migrant detention center at the abandoned Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Everglades.
- This proposal follows Governor Ron DeSantis directing state leaders to identify sites for temporary detention facilities amid a statewide immigration crackdown.
- Uthmeier said the facility would use the airport's existing 10,500-foot runway to detain, process, and deport migrants and could hold roughly 1,000 people in temporary structures.
- He indicated the location is ideal since limited perimeter security investment is required because of the surrounding Everglades, and mentioned the facility could become functional between one to two months after construction starts.
- The facility aims to ease overcrowding in county jails and advance President Trump's mass deportation agenda, though no formal plans or broad official support have yet been confirmed.
