Governor's $1.2M Daily Spending on 'Alligator Alcatraz' Revealed
Florida governor Ron DeSantis spent over $1.2 million per day to operate the infamous 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration jail, as new records show.
Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida has come under scrutiny for spending a staggering $1.2 million of taxpayer money per day to open and operate the notorious Alligator Alcatraz immigration jail, according to court records obtained by the independent investigative news website Florida Tributary.
The harsh Everglades detention and deportation facility, along with other immigration jails in the state, have cost Florida at least $608 million, despite a promise of federal reimbursement from the Trump administration that now appears unlikely to materialize. This revelation has sparked outrage and calls for accountability from state residents and advocacy groups.
