FOX 35’s LuAnne Sorrell and Manny Martinez break down the top news stories of the day, starting with everything we know about ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ the newest immigration detention facility in the heart of the Everglades.
Congressman Maxwell Frost, a Democrat representing Orlando in the House of Representatives, joins FOX 35’s Manny Martinez to share his reaction to the new facility, calling it an ‘internment camp,’ President Trump and Governor Ron DeSantis leading media and the press on a tour of the facility, and Vice President JD Vance casting the tiebreaking vote to announce President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ as the budget reconciliation package heads back to the House for a final vote.
President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis lead a tour of ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ the new outdoor trailer and tent immigration detention camp in the middle of the Everglades. President Trump will tour the site and participate in a roundtable with elected officials and leaders, including Congressman Byron Donalds, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Florida State Senator Joe Gruters and Florida House Speaker Danny Perez.
Governor DeSantis describes Alligator Alcatraz, which sits on the site of the old Collier County training airport, as a one-stop shop to process, detain and deport undocumented immigrants, which has the capacity for 5,000 beds and the airstrip is large enough to run deportation flights out of the United States.
