Florida Offers ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ To House Illegal Aliens
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier posted a video offering a facility for temporary housing for illegal aliens. Uthmeier calls the location “Alligator Alcatraz” due to its location in the Everglades.
In the video posted Thursday, Uthmeier exhibits the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, located about 50 miles west of Miami in the Florida Everglades.
Uthmeier described the location as, “an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades.”
Although the facility has been nearly abandoned, Uthmeier claimed that it could be operational in 30-60 days. After construction, Uthmeier said that “Alligator Alcatraz” would be able to temporarily house around 1000 illegal aliens.
In an interview with Fox News’s John Roberts, Uthmeier said “We’re going to continue to [detain and deport]. We’ve got thousands of arrests underway. We’re going to enforce the law.” (Read more from “Florida Offers ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ To House Illegal Aliens” HERE)
