Florida AG James Uthmeier tweets that hundreds of immigrants will be 'checking in' to the Alligator Alcatraz detention center the night of July 2

OCHOPEE, Fla. (AP) — The first group of immigrants were scheduled to arrive Wednesday night at a new detention center deep in the Florida Everglades that officials have dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the state’s attorney general said.

President Donald Trump traveled to a remote area of South Florida to tour the state’s newest immigration detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” on Tuesday, coinciding with the same day the government planned to move its first detainees into the facility.
