Experts are concerned about the dangerous conditions at Alligator Alcatraz, the immigrant detention center that opened Tuesday in the Florida Everglades. Hurricanes, flooding, and mosquitoes pose a more likely threat to people incarcerated there than the alligators and snakes that President Donald Trump has “joked” about.

On Tuesday, June 1, President Donald Trump toured the newly-established immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Florida Everglades. This 5,000-bed facility, controversial for its surrounding alligator-infested waters, symbolizes the stringent measures of his immigration policies.
