Controversial US Plan: Migrant Detention in Florida's Alligator-Infested Everglades Sparks Outcry

A new, controversial plan by the United States government aims to establish a detention facility for irregular migrants deep within the Everglades, Florida. This site, a former temporary airfield, is designed to facilitate the mass deportation of migrants. The facility is described as an isolated and humid area, reportedly surrounded by snakes, alligators, and mosquitoes, which officials suggest would deter escape attempts. Human rights activists have voiced strong opposition to the project, labeling the proposed conditions as inhumane and harsh. They argue that detaining individuals in such an environment poses significant health risks and violates fundamental human rights, urging authorities to abandon the plan. Conversely, officials in Florida have defended the initiative, presenting it as a necessary and effective solution to manage the influx and deportation of irregular migrants.
