Alligator Alcatraz is a controversial Florida detention center in the Everglades for undocumented migrants, built in tents at a remote airport site. Launched in 2025 by Gov. DeSantis using $245M in contracts (partly from disaster funds), it costs $450M/year to operate. Critics cite inhumane conditions like extreme heat, poor sanitation, and limited medical care, calling it a "concentration camp." Supporters say it enforces immigration laws. DeSantis's July XX speech there defends the facility amid shutdown demands.
