State plans stunning addition to Trump's border security: Alligator Alcatraz * WorldNetDaily * by Bob Unruh
Leftists, Marxists, activists for illegal immigration into America and even gangs have objected to President Donald Trump’s agenda to secure America’s borders and deport illegal alien criminals.
His plans come after Joe Biden essentially unlocked the doors, opened the borders and let millions of illegal aliens into America to take jobs, benefit from government social programs and more.
Trump’s work has shown results: Statistics show during May border agents released no illegal aliens into the U.S., compared to more than 60,000 given that privilege under Biden a year earlier.
But this the agenda has come criticism, legal opposition, organization resistance and even riots, like those in Los Angeles that activists tried to spread across the country in their “No Kings” protests.
But one state now is offering an addition to Trump’s program that takes will take a few breaths away.
It’s proposed by Florida and it’s called “Alligator Alcatraz,” a secure detention facility to be located in the Everglades on land surrounded by alligators and pythons.

A report from the Washington Examiner said Florida officials now are considering the plan for a large immigration detention facility there.
The land currently is owned by Miami-Dade County.
“The proposal by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier comes as the Trump administration has set a quota for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to make 3,000 arrests of illegal immigrants per day,” the report said.
It already has an airstrip, which would benefit programs to process and deport illegal aliens.
“If somebody were to get out, there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,” Uthmeier told Fox Business. “Only the alligators and pythons are waiting. That’s why I like to call it ‘Alligator Alcatraz.'”
Construction could begin within weeks if the project gets the proper permissions, he said.
The Examiner reported, “Uthmeier’s proposal comes as ICE detention centers have reached capacity for detaining immigrants. Almost 90% of individuals held by ICE are being detained in facilities operated by private, for-profit corporations.”
Congress currently is working on a plan to raise the funding for ICE detention operations from $3.4 billion to $45 billion.
