The camp was first announced by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, who is DeSantis’ former chief of staff and was manager of the governor’s unsuccessful 2024 presidential campaign, late last month.

The state of Florida has opened a migrant detention center in the Everglades. Its official name is Alligator Alcatraz, a reference to the former maximum security federal penitentiary in San Francisco Bay.

When you make merch out of suffering — like the GOP is doing with Alligator Alcatraz — it makes it easier to get away with inhumanity.

Florida’s elected officials should learn from the original facility that inspired the state’s newest immigrant detention center's name, and change course before it’s too late.

When the Miami Herald/Tampa Bay Times published a list Sunday of more than 700 detainees held at the A lligator Alcatraz detention facility in South Florida, it confirmed what many have suspected all along: Despite political claims to the contrary, many of the migrants being detained have no U.S. criminal convictions or pending charges.

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem turned the tables on NBC host Kristen Welker on Sunday’s “Meet the Press” by citing Biden-era detention facility conditions in response to questions about Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” facility.

Upon emerging from sprawling facility, Democrats and Republicans provided vastly different accounts of what they saw within.

One of two federally-recognized tribes in Florida wants to join a lawsuit to stop Alligator Alcatraz from operating in the Everglades.
