Florida is looking to strengthen its position as a national leader in immigration enforcement.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier told Fox Business that he is proposing to build a new 1,000-bed immigration detention center on a 30-square-mile property in the Everglades owned by Miami-Dade County. He has dubbed the facility, which would be the largest of its kind in the state, "Alligator Alcatraz."
"If somebody were to get out, there's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. Only alligators and pythons are waiting," he said during an interview with Fox News correspondent Danamarie McNicholl on Tuesday.
