DeSantis highlights deportation of 21,000 amid Alligator Alcatraz closure
Ron DeSantis announced the closure of the controversial migrant detention facility known as ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ in Florida, which was shut down after a year due to reports of inhumane treatment, environmental harm, and public protests. The facility, used primarily for deportations, held up to 21,000 detainees, many of whom had no criminal records, and cost taxpayers around $1.2 million daily. DeSantis claimed the operation improved safety and featured detainees with serious criminal histories, but critics highlighted allegations of abuse and civil rights violations.
