EVERGLADES, Florida — President Donald Trump celebrated the speedy construction of “Alligator Alcatraz,” a new immigrant detention facility in the heart of the Florida Everglades, and warned that the only way for detainees to get out of this “treacherous” region is through deportation.

“It’s known as Alligator Alcatraz, which is very appropriate, because I look outside and it’s not a place I want to go,” Trump said during a visit to the site in Ochopee, Florida, on Tuesday afternoon. “We’re surrounded by miles of treacherous swamp land, and the only way out is really deportation.”
