About 70 National Guard troops activated to protect Alligator Alcatraz

Just fewer than 70 Florida National Guard troops have been sent to guard the remote migrant detention center in the state’s Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz,” the Pentagon’s top spokesperson announced Wednesday.

“Nearly 70 Florida National Guard are on state active duty … conducting base camp security at Alligator Alcatraz,” chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell told reporters.


The activation comes after Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said he would send 100 guard troops there, with people arriving at the facility as early as Wednesday.

President Trump on Tuesday toured the site in southern Florida at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, saying afterward the complex is “surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland and the only way out is really deportation.”

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
