On Wednesday night, workers replaced the signs in front of the training facility with ones that read "Alligator Alcatraz."

The government of Florida is proud of how quickly it built a new prison for immigrants. "Eight days, Mr. President," said Gov. Ron DeSantis, grinning, as he stood next to President Donald Trump on the tarmac of the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport,

"Alligator Alcatraz will be checking in hundreds of criminal illegal aliens tonight," Florida Republican Attorney General James Uthmeier said.
