Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on Wednesday that 30 Mexicans are currently being held at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport detention center in Florida.
The center is more commonly referred to as Alligator Alcatraz because of its remote location deep in the Florida Everglades swamps, with a large population of alligators and snakes. It began operations on July 1 as a detention center for illegal immigrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and awaiting prosecution and deportation.
