Florida is constructing a migrant detention center called 'Alligator Alcatraz' on an airstrip in the Everglades, funded mainly by FEMA, amid criticism over environmental impact and concerns about its proximity to natural habitats. The facility aims to hold around 1,000 migrants and is part of broader efforts to increase deportations under the Trump administration.
