The virtually abandoned Florida airport being turned into 'Alligator Alcatraz'

 

A convoy of trucks carrying tents, construction materials and portable toilets flows into a virtually abandoned airport in Florida's picturesque Everglades, a Unesco World Heritage Site.

But they're not helping build the region's next big tourist attraction.

 

Instead they're laying the foundations for a new migrant detention facility, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz".

 

The facility, in the middle of a Miami swamp, was proposed by state lawmakers to support US President Donald Trump's deportation agenda.

And now that I'm thinking of it they should be made to unload the trucks, pitch their own tents, and maintain the sewage system.
