Environmental groups, immigration advocates and Native Americans decry idea to set up the outdoor detention camp

Environmental groups, immigration rights activists and a Native American tribe have decried the construction of a harsh outdoor migrant detention camp in the Florida Everglades billed by state officials as “Alligator Alcatraz”.

Crews began preparing the facility at a remote, largely disused training airfield this week in support of the Trump administration’s aggressive goal of arresting and incarcerating 3,000 undocumented migrants every day.

It is among a number of controversial new Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) jails appearing around the country as the number of detentions by the agency surges dramatically.

Don't worry. This will take some time to build, and will be ready just in time when you got those right-wing insurrectionists kicked out. And as much as they like their idea of Alligator Auschwitz, Trump and his cronies can stay there as long as humanity needs to be safe from them, which is probably means you'll have to refresh the alligator supply a few times - they only live 30-50 years.

They'll use any phrase they can except "concentration camp".
