The Florida Republican Party confirmed Monday that the most dangerous criminal illegal immigrants captured in the state are being sent to Alligator Alcatraz, the new detention facility deep in the Everglades. According to a press release, these detainees include individuals convicted of the most violent crimes — including homicide, rape, child sex abuse, and aggravated assault.
Florida’s new immigration detention center, known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” is now operational—and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the capture of dozens of criminal illegal aliens likely headed there. DHS released a detailed list of violent offenders arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) across the state, highlighting a coordinated effort to remove high-risk individuals.
Ahead of the launch of a new high-security immigration detention facility in Florida, federal officials are showcasing recent arrests of illegal aliens convicted of heinous crimes including murder, child rape, kidnapping, and terrorism-related offenses. The facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” will serve as a hub for housing some of the most dangerous individuals caught by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Florida officials are moving fast to convert a remote Everglades facility into a migrant processing center capable of housing up to 3,000 illegal immigrants—but the location, surrounded by swamps, alligators, and pythons, has ignited backlash from indigenous leaders who say the land is sacred.
