Tricia McLaughlin, the Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), has revealed that the FEMA funding intended for housing illegal immigrants under President Biden will be diverted in part to help build Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz.'
If you haven't heard about this thing yet, please go check out RedState Editor Bob Hoge's excellent report.
Alligator Alcatraz is a brilliant, cost-effective detention facility in Florida’s Everglades, designed to securely hold criminal illegal immigrants with natural barriers like alligators and pythons, ensuring no escapes. It’s a bold step by Florida officials to enforce immigration laws and maintain community safety.
This thing is 'Florida Man' on steroids. And it's something right out of the Trump playbook. It turns out that the administration will reportedly be contributing to the effort.
