    Trump takes pride in “Alligator Alcatraz” facility for migrants

    The detention center for undocumented migrants in Florida, “has many police officers in the form of alligators,” said Trump

    US President Donald Trump announced this week that a new migrant detention center in the Florida Everglades, nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” could become the new standard for immigration facilities. The center, located in an isolated, alligator-filled swamp, is designed to deter escapes, with Trump jokingly referring to the reptiles as “bodyguards” and “police” that need no wages.
