Florida officials proved critics wrong about the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center after CNN’s latest hit piece blew up in their faces. Instead of exposing a “dystopian prison,” the network’s report accidentally revealed a facility doing exactly what state leaders promised – deporting illegal immigrants.
Governor Ron DeSantis used bold action to create this Everglades-based center in just 8 days. By declaring a state emergency, he bypassed useless red tape and focused on building a functional deportation hub with a massive runway.
The remote 39-square-mile site uses Florida’s toughest conditions to deter escape attempts. Surrounded by alligators, snakes, and swampland, it’s a reminder of the risks involved in breaking U.S. immigration laws. Some detainees complain about food and water, but officials say tough living conditions send a clear message: violating our borders has consequences.
Deportation flights already began two weeks after opening. Hundreds of illegal aliens have been removed from the U.S. under this program, proving critics wrong about its “symbolic” nature. ICE officials confirmed federal planes are regularly taking off from the facility’s runway.
Detainees whining about “harsh conditions” sound like headlines from enemy media. Newsflash: illegal aliens aren’t entitled to luxury spas. They’re lucky to get basic shelter – unlike legal immigrants who followed the rules.
The Justice Department stepped up to block anti-Trump lawsuits trying to shut down construction. This isn’t just a Florida fight; it’s part of the federal government’s effort to enforce border security aggressively.
Republicans know: no path to citizenship for lawbreakers. “Alligator Alcatraz” sends a fresh message – our new border policy isn’t hiding. We’re building barriers, using federal resources, and deporting without apology.
Conservative voters aren’t buying CNN’s fake outrage. We see through fake headlines trying to protect illegal aliens. Alligator Alcatraz is working, and that’s why the left wants you to believe it’s failing.
