Florida to receive federal funds to build immigration detention sites, including "Alligator Alcatraz," Noem says
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says new immigration detention centers in Florida will be largely funded by FEMA's shelter and services program.

So not only is this happening, but FEMA funds will be redirected to pay for it.
Our state attorney general plans to have the facility up and running next month.
The Floridians whose homes get destroyed in the next hurricane will be happy knowing that their government is leaving them homeless so that more brown people can be imprisoned.
That wasn't sarcasm.

Also seems like an easy spin "Trump is housing illegals while citizens are homeless!".
Construction is already underway. The facility could be operational as soon as Tuesday.
Trump's expected to be at the grand opening on Tuesday:

Probably too much to ask for the ceremony to be overrun by hungry alligators.
Trump expected to visit the 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility this week
The immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades has drawn protests and faces a lawsuit.

This whole thing came together in two weeks.

“Efficient“ can also mean “fast and shoddy”.
I’m waiting for the first major weather event to run through and possibly tear down walls or flood out.
They'll just board everyone on an "evacuation" flight and send them somewhere in the world.
Don't forget the snakes.Trump's expected to be at the grand opening on Tuesday:

(Some might even make it onto the planes...)
I'd say there are already plenty of snakes on Trump's plane.......
So anyway, the place has already flooded:
Great work, ten out of ten.

Considering I've heard of reports of American prisons flooded with sewage, I doubt this will deter officials from interring people (illegally) there.
It's even money that the flooding is by design.
"Oops! Some immigrants drowned! Oh well! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's not like they were real people."

The place is meant to be so bad that people will self deport rather than taking a chance of ending up there.
America?
I've self-deported in advance. I will never go back to the USA from where I live now until things change substantially for the better. I view the US as almost as dangerous to visit as China, North Korea and Russia.
Am fully supportive of changing the nickname from "Alligator Alcatraz" to "Alligator Auschwitz." As the FB friend who posted the suggestion pointed out, it's not a prison (no one there is there because of any crime committed, unless one is counting being undocumented in and of itself), it's a concentration camp.
