Fox News
President Trump tours "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center in Florida Everglades, stating deportation is the "only way out" of the facility surrounded by miles of swampland.
Greg Norman is a reporter at Fox News Digital.
"It's known as Alligator Alcatraz, which is very appropriate because I looked outside and that's not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon," Trump also said, noting that "we're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation."
A sign located next to where Trump was speaking said the facility can hold up to 3,000 detainees and is operated by 1,000 staff members, including more than 400 security personnel. It added that it was built in eight days and is outfitted with over 200 security cameras and more than 28,000 feet of barbed wire. The facility is also surrounded by 10 miles of rugged Everglades terrain on all sides.
