1:26Now PlayingThe Trump administration and Florida leaders partnered together to build a detention facility on a remote site nestled in the state’s swampy Everglades to hold migrants awaiting deportation.
The site, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” opened Tuesday with soft-sided holding units for hundreds of detainees in the coming days through a partnership in which the federal government will provide funding and the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) will oversee the build-out and management.
President Trump, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem attended the site’s opening. The leaders also held a roundtable discussion on the facility, which is projected to cost about $450 million a year.
