When Donald Trump visited Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz', he dropped a big hint that many such detention centers might come up in other US states. Trump said facility "could be" a model for future such facilities and his administration is working to bring such facilities in other Republican states.

With Florida's so-called Alligator Alcatraz now open, another migrant detention facility roughly 400 miles north of the original is already planned in the Everglades.

A state-run detention facility for migrants has opened in the Florida Everglades. Alligator Alcatraz - that is the official name - was assembled in eight days and opened on July 1. President Donald Trump visited the remote site on opening day, built at an old runway near the Miami-Dade and Collier county line.
