'Alligator Alcatraz' set to open
Bangkok Post
|July 02, 2025
US President Donald Trump was set to attend the official opening of a migrant detention centre dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” that has been built in a reptile-filled Florida swamp yesterday.
-
Critics of Mr Trump's harsh immigration crackdown have called the idea inhumane, while environmental protesters oppose its construction in a national park.
But the White House has openly embraced the nickname comparing it to the notorious former Alcatraz prison on an island in San Francisco Bay — which Mr Trump incidentally also wants to reopen.
“There is only one road leading in, and the only way out is a one-way flight. It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain,” Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Monday.
