Video: ICE Barbie Kristi Noem plots sequel to 'Alligator Alcatraz'... set at America's 'bloodiest' prison, where inmates battle raging beasts in the nation's last prison rodeo

Alligator Alcatraz, the controversial new ICE detention center in Florida, is now open. President Trump toured the site on Tuesday with Kristi Noem. The controversial detention facility was spearheaded by state Republican leaders and garnered its nickname due to its location: it sits about 37 miles from Miami in the middle of a swamp surrounded by snakes and alligators - and in an area of the state that is prone to hurricanes. Democrats railed against the facility and environmental groups have sued to try and stop its opening. The $450 million-per-year detention facility, which will be able to hold up to 3,000 undocumented immigrants, was built in just seven days. There are only tents and trailers - no brick-or-mortar buildings. It was constructed on land belonging to Miami-Dade County and seized by state officials over local leaders' objections. It sits next to an 11,000 foot airstrip. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said the runway is to quickly fly immigrants out of America.
