COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. — President Donald Trump is set to tour the controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” temporary immigrant detention facility in the Everglades on Tuesday.
DeSantis boasts that the runway at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport can handle the president’s plane.
This weekend, the Department of Homeland Security posted an AI-generated meme on social media that shows alligators representing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Supporters say housing migrants there will ensure no one escapes because the surrounding area is marshland full of alligators and pythons.
But opponents say a facility like this will cause environmental damage to the Everglades.
