Florida is moving ahead with 'Alligator Alcatraz,' despite widespread pushback

Heard on All Things Considered
Despite resistance, Florida officials are turning an airfield in the Everglades into a migrant detention center, which they've nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz" due to its proximity to the apex predators.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier proposed the project last week, saying in a video posted to X that, in support of the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis had asked state leaders to identify places for temporary detention facilities.
"I think this is the best one, as I call it: Alligator Alcatraz," Uthmeier said, referencing the infamous prison island in San Francisco Bay

We might never know how many because they'll cover it up. Most of whom will be people with no family or money. The local politicians and GOP will get their slice of the pie. Anyone remember the movie Brubaker?
