The plan to build an immigration detention facility at Camp Blanding in Clay County is meeting with community pushback on the heels of the opening of Alligator Alcatraz in the Florida Everglades.

ICE received additional funding from President Trump's "big, beautiful bill," and Alligator Alcatraz began operating.

Dozens of trucks carrying supplies could be seen going in and out of the facility on Saturday as protesters waved their signs towards them.

The mocking of immigrant detainees harks back to “the worst parts of our history” when similar jokes and tropes, such as “gator bait,” were used to dehumanize Black people and desensitize people to the harm and violence inflicted upon them, says ACLU Florida Executive Director Bacardi Jackson.

Trump is celebrating — and even joking about — the harsh conditions of the controversial immigration detention facility in Florida.

Demonstrators gathered at the entrance to the new Florida Everglades migrant detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" as President Trump made an opening-day visit to the controversial facility on Tuesday.

Five Florida Democratic lawmakers are suing Gov. DeSantis over being denied entry into the immigration detention facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” State Sen. Shevrin Jones (D-FL) joins Alex Witt to detail complaints of conditions received by detainees.
