💨 Abstract

On July 1, 2025, President Trump visited a new immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" by state officials. The facility, currently housing 3,000 with expansion plans for 5,000, is a symbol of Trump's aggressive immigration policies. Critics decry the site as inhumane, while supporters see it as a deterrent and a model for other states.
