When Donald Trump visited the so-called Alligator Alcatraz detention center in Florida, the president joked that he was excited about the prospect of escapees encountering reptiles if they attempted a breakout. Now, reports are emerging from the facility about the inhumane conditions detainees are enduring — even if they don’t try to escape.
Trump’s mass immigration agenda was boosted by the accelerated construction of Alligator Alcatraz, which costs a staggering $450 million annually to operate. Almost immediately, the detention center was reportedly plagued with flooding and other mishaps. Now, NBC has released a report confirming that the management of the facility is no better than its construction.
