💨 Abstract

Florida has established a new immigrant detention center in the Everglades, named "Alligator Alcatraz." The facility, built in eight days, can initially hold 3,000 detainees and is set to expand. Critics, including environmental groups and Native American tribes, have opposed the center due to its location and conditions. Officials are using the center as a deterrent for undocumented immigrants and have promoted it through social media and merchandise.
