MIAMI — President Donald Trump plans to visit “Alligator Alcatraz,” the newest illegal immigrant detention center in Florida’s Everglades on Tuesday, the same day that the government had planned to move its first detainees into the site, the Washington Examiner learned Sunday evening.
Trump will travel to a remote, alligator-filled part of South Florida, roughly 50 miles west of coastal Miami, where he will see firsthand a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center that the state of Florida has allowed the federal government to erect in a matter of days, according to a senior administration official.
