Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava seemed to oppose the plan by the Ron DeSantis administration to open a migrant detention center in the Everglades, an area owned by the county.

Levine Cava did not oppose the concept as such, but said that building what Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier has dubbed as "Alligator Alcatraz" would require "considerable review and due diligence."
