A migrant detention center surrounded by alligator-infested swamps opens in the USA

U.S. President Donald Trump visited a new migrant detention center located in the Everglades National Park in Florida. The facility has been named 'Alligator Alcatraz' and is situated in subtropical wetlands, home to alligators, crocodiles, and pythons.

The complex is located near the Dade-Collier Airport and will cost the U.S. budget $450 million per year. The center can accommodate about 5,000 people and features dozens of bunk beds housed in metal cages.

During the tour, Trump noted that the area around the center is extremely dangerous for escape: 'We are surrounded by miles of treacherous swamps, and the only way out of here is deportation.'

The first migrants are expected to arrive here soon, and Florida's governor promised to send 100 National Guard troops for their protection. This is accompanied on social media by images of alligators in the shape of the immigration service and sales of themed souvenirs.

Migrant Detention in the USA Rejuvenated

The Department of Homeland Security ordered the reinstatement of the detention of illegal migrants working in the agricultural sector and in the hospitality industry. This order was previously canceled, and staff were warned about possible immigration raids.

It is worth noting that after Trump's rise to power, the administration had previously suspended the detention of illegal migrants in these industries. As a result, protests against the president's policy named No Kings occurred in many cities across the USA.

During his visit to Florida, the U.S. president visited the new migrant detention center, which sparked public outrage and discussion. The Department of Homeland Security also ordered the reinstatement of detention of illegal migrants in certain sectors of the economy, leading to tension and protests in some cities across the country.
