President Trump on Tuesday toured the site of a new immigration detention center in South Florida that state officials are calling "Alligator Alcatraz." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are visiting the facility alongside the president.

The remote Florida facility was nicknamed "Alligator Alcatraz" by Republican lawmakers because it is located in the Big Cypress National Preserve, which is surrounded by marshlands containing pythons and alligators. The conditions inside the centre are austere. Rows of bunk beds are caged by chain link fences, which sit under large white tents.
