Florida opened its newly minted state-run immigrant detention camp deep in the Everglades, nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz." President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis were on hand to inaugurate the facility on Tuesday in an apparent push to support the president's aggressive deportation campaign.
Located on an abandoned airstrip near Miami, the camp was built in eight days, DeSantis told reporters at the site, which will hold 1,000 detainees initially with plans to expand to 10,000, per local press reports.
