President Trump visits “Alligator Alcatraz”

July 1, 2025

Alligator Alcatraz has attracted criticism from lawmakers, human rights groups, and environmental advocates.

Alligator Alcatraz is a sick political stunt.” Environmental advocates worry the site could harm the fragile Everglades ecosystem.
