US EditionThe cartoonish cruelty of Trump's Alligator Alcatraz
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis appeared together to introduce "Alligator Alcatraz," a newly established detention center created by converting a former airport in the Florida Everglades.
- The facility emerged after a rushed renovation under a disputed emergency declaration amid a Senate budget bill cutting Medicaid and expanding ICE funding.
- The center, designed to accommodate up to 5,000 immigrants awaiting deportation, is located amid alligator-infested swampland and features dormitory-style sleeping areas secured by metal barriers.
- Trump described the facility as being encircled by dangerous wetlands that make escape nearly impossible, with deportation as the only exit, while critics denounced it as inhumane and compared it to a harsh penal camp hidden in the swamp.
- The opening signals intensified immigration enforcement under a $45 billion congressional proposal, sparking legal challenges and condemnation from civil liberties and indigenous groups.
