On Tuesday, President Trump visited ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ – a migrant detention center next to Everglades Park in Florida.
DHS Chief Kristi Noem and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis joined President Trump for the tour of the Alligator Alcatraz.

Trump chatted with reporters during his tour of the migrant facility.
At one point President Trump took a swipe at Joe Biden.
“Biden wanted me in here … Didn’t work out that way. He wanted me here that son of a bitch,” Trump said.

Trump said Biden brought in at least at least 21 million illegals.
“In the 4 years before I took office, Joe Biden allowed 21M people—that’s a minimum…illegal aliens to invade our country….That’s more than the populations of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Phoenix, and Philadelphia combined,” Trump said.

President Trump said the only way out of Alligator Alcatraz is deportation.

Trump said he is looking into rebuilding the famous Alcatraz prison in the San Francisco Bay.
“Because of the Violence and Criminality I have seen due to the Open Border Policy of Sleepy Joe Biden, in particular allowing millions of people into our Country who shouldn’t be here, I wanted something representative to show how we fight back, and then, it happened, I saw a picture of ALCATRAZ looking so foreboding, and I said, “We’re going to look into renovating and rebuilding the famous ALCATRAZ Prison sitting high on the Bay, surrounded by sharks. What a symbol it is, and will be!” Conceptual work started six months ago, and various prison development firms are looking at doing it with us. Still a little early, but lots of promise!” Trump said later on Tuesday.
