The Florida airport being turned into Trump's new migrant detention facility

An abandoned airport will be the new 'Alligator Alcatraz'

The former Miami International Airport, which has been closed for years is being considered for conversion into a migrant detention facility by the Biden administration. The airport, which is located on a 1500-acre site has been labeled as the "largest homeless shelter in the country" by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, is being proposed as a solution to the rising number of migrants crossing the border. The facility, which is expected to hold undocumeted immigrants indefinitely is being likened to a modern version of the infamous Guantanamo Bay detention camp.

What's next for the facility?

The Biden administration has remained largely silent on the proposal, but advocates of the plan have already begun to rally support for quick ratification of the proposal, citing the urgent need for a permanent solution to the ongoing border crisis. There has been widespread public outcry against the proposal, with many arguing that the facility would be a humanitarian disaster and a stain on America's reputation.
