President Donald Trump traveled to a remote area of South Florida to tour the state’s newest immigration detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” on Tuesday, coinciding with the same day the government planned to move its first detainees into the facility.

President Trump on Tuesday toured the site of a new immigration detention center in South Florida that state officials are calling "Alligator Alcatraz." Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem are visiting the facility alongside the president.

"Alligator Alcatraz will be checking in hundreds of criminal illegal aliens tonight," Florida Republican Attorney General James Uthmeier said.
