The first group of immigrants has arrived at a new detention center deep in the Florida Everglades that officials have dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” a spokesperson for Republican state Attorney General James Uthmeier told The Associated Press.

President Donald Trump on July 1 toured the 5,000-bed immigration detention center being built on 39 square miles in Miami-Dade.
