Florida GOP Welcomes President Trump Back Home to Florida for Grand Opening of 'Alligator Alcatraz' - A Stronghold for Law and Order

July 1, 2025

Republican Party of Florida Chairman Evan Power proudly welcomes President Donald J. Trump back to Florida for the grand opening of Alligator Alcatraz — a new ICE detention center in the heart of the Everglades, built to hold and deport criminal illegal aliens who entered under Joe Biden’s failed open border policies.

“Let’s be clear - Florida isn’t a sanctuary state and America’s borders aren’t open,” said Chairman Evan Power. “Thanks to President Donald Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis and Florida’s Attorney General James Uthmeier, we’re taking real action to protect our people and enforce the law.”

Built on a remote, repurposed airstrip in the Everglades, the 5,000-bed facility is surrounded by pythons, gators, and one road in — with only one way out: Deportation. It’s secure, efficient, and exactly what America needs to restore order.

“President Trump is doing what Biden never would - securing our border and keeping Americans safe,” added Power.

The project has received immense public support, with the Republican Party of Florida selling thousands of “Alligator Alcatraz” themed shirts, hats, and gear.

Americans want swift deportations and a secure border, and now they’re proudly wearing their shirt and hat to show it.

Florida GOP Alligator Alcatraz gear can be purchased at the Republican Party of Florida’s store.
