Flooding Reported at Controversial Everglades Facility, Sparks Debate Over Costs and Conditions

Everglades, Florida – A video uploaded on July 2, 2025, by Florida House member annaforflorida, shows significant indoor flooding within a large, tent-like structure. The footage, captured at what the author identifies as a 'Trump/DeSantis interment camp in the Everglades,' displays extensive puddles across a patterned floor, with reflections of the white walls and metal support poles. An American flag and a Florida state flag are visible on stands at the beginning of the video. According to the author's accompanying description, the facility, which she claims cost over $450 million, is experiencing flooding, raising concerns about its safety and environmental impact. The author stated, 'Not only is this an environmental disaster but it is inhumane & not even close to being safe! We do NOT need this!' She further suggested that the substantial funds invested in the camp could have been better utilized for affordable housing initiatives.
