FLORIDA, JUL 2 – The Everglades facility, called "Alligator Alcatraz," can hold up to 5,000 migrants awaiting deportation, drawing criticism for its remote location and inhumane conditions, Rep. Nixon said.
- On July 2, Florida State Representative Angie Nixon accused President Donald Trump of establishing "modern-day concentration camps" in Florida, criticizing the recently inaugurated immigrant detention facility located in the Everglades known as Alligator Alcatraz.
- Nixon criticized the facilities as efforts to disappear people from communities and called the plans unconstitutional, while Trump and Governor DeSantis say the centers are necessary for immigration enforcement.
- The Alligator Alcatraz center can hold up to 5,000 migrants awaiting deportation, and a similar ICE detention facility planned at Camp Blanding near Starke aims to house 2,000 detainees with construction expected soon.

- Nixon condemned the projects as inhumane and a misuse of taxpayer money, warning they solidify a blueprint of 'barbed wire and broken families' and represent a threat to American values.
