The federal government will help fund an initiative from the Florida government to build immigration detention centers in the state, including one in the Everglades that has been dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz."
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said that the facilities will be funded "in large part" by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) shelter and services program, which supports groups and cities receiving migrants and asylum-seekers released from federal custody close to the southern border.
