Exclusive: New details from the Florida Attorney General’s Office reveal that some individuals awaiting deportation in Florida’s “Crocodile Alcatraz” have past convictions for serious crimes.
One official stated, “The left continues to relay false narratives, but the actual danger posed by those in Crocodile Alcatraz is much greater than the threats of the Everglades.” He added, “What we see here are murderers, rapists, and gang affiliates—a mere fraction of the disturbed individuals that Florida is helping President Trump and his administration to remove from our borders.”

Trump asserts the only exit from “Alligator Alcatraz” is through exile
While touring earlier this month, Trump remarked about the “Crocodile Alcatraz,” saying, “That’s not a place for hiking.” He emphasized the facility’s alarming presence, claiming it houses some of the most dangerous individuals.
Alligator Alcatraz opened recently, facing staunch opposition from environmentalists and Democratic critics of the Trump administration’s immigration policies.
“This detention center is not just cruel; it threatens vital ecosystems,” activists emphasize, arguing it undermines tribal sovereignty and risks transforming crucial wetlands into prisons fueled by political agendas.
