Episode Details

Florida’s infamous “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention center, hastily built in the Everglades just months ago, is shutting down for good. Open barely a year, the facility—once hailed as a key Republican deportation tool—processed over 21,000 deportations before its abrupt closure. Originally shuttered temporarily during hurricane season, it’s now officially obsolete as federal authorities say they’ve got permanent infrastructure in place. A flashy, swampy experiment, it’s gone—leaving behind a political footnote and a lot of muddy history.
