President Trump is in Florida on Tuesday attending the grand opening of a new migrant detention facility in a remote part of the Everglades that has stirred some controversy.
Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) promised to have the facility, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” operational ahead of Trump’s visit. The president is expected to be joined on his visit by DeSantis and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
The migrant center, nestled near the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, includes soft-sided holding units for hundreds of detainees from the Sunshine State and transfers from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Trump’s is expected to include a walking tour of the site, near Ochopee, Fla.
The roundtable discussion is scheduled to begin at 11:05 a.m. EDT.
