Florida lawmakers are touring a controversial immigration detention center in the Everglades. The facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," was rapidly built on a remote airstrip and houses 3,000 detainees.

One article describes conditions with detainees reporting issues like plumbing failures, temperature extremes and large insects inside the facility. Another highlights Gov. Ron DeSantis' use of emergency powers to expedite construction, drawing parallels to previous emergency responses.

The U.S. arm of Montreal-based security giant GardaWorld — which holds a federal contract to secure the controversial migrant detention site dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” — is hiring armed guards for a facility in the same Florida community.

Immigration arrests are sharply up around the country, and Florida is sending some to Alligator Alcatraz. But did Obama deport more people than Trump?

Land in the Everglades once designated to be a jetport, is now being turned into a detention center for migrants and being called Alligator Alcatraz.

Alligator Alcatraz is located in a remote region in South Florida, which includes the Florida Everglades and Big Cypress Wildlife Management Area. There are few roads and even fewer towns.
