Just like that, Donald Trump’s immigrant detention center in Florida that he warmly referred to as “Alligator Alcatraz” will be a thing of the past.
From the onset of the detention center, protests erupted at the very idea of a detention center constructed on an abandoned airstrip in the middle of the Big Cypress National Preserve in the Everglades. Trump credited the ingenuity of the location for its possession of reptiles and amphibians and said escapees had to run in “zigzag,” adding that the presence of wild animals was the “best security money can’t buy.” Since then, environmentalists and human rights activists have been in nonstop protests in the locale of the detention center.
