No, DeSantis paid for it with taxpayer's money that was supposed to be for hurricane relief, and Trump never paid Florida back. So now Florida is out over a billion dollars.
It's a good thing we didn't get slapped with hurricanes this year...Yet. Maybe we'll get lucky.
But issookay. Please hate Trump anyway. ;)

u/Emergency-Lemon2825 12h ago
Have you been to a concentration camp? I have. Auschwitz. Real talk. You have no idea what a concentration camp is. If you are an illegal in Mexico or pretty much any other country other than England and France. You sit in prison until you are deported. Why should we be different.
2
u/MNGopherfan 12h ago edited 12h ago
Country literally built by immigrants.
Also alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp. Auschwitz was a Death Camp, Forced Labor Camp, and a concentration camp.
Concentration camp is a type of prison, often consisting of a number of buildings inside a fence, where political prisoners, or specific groups are kept in extremely bad conditions.
I feel like you ought to know the difference since Auschwitz was three camps that operated simultaneously. Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Monowitz all of which operated differently with different purposes or did you not listen on your tour and assumed that just because you have been there that it makes you opinion on the topic more valid?
The country was built by immigrants and deportation takes many forms in many different countries. The United States is supposed to be the shinning city on the hill not your misbegotten idea of an ethno state.

u/Emergency-Lemon2825 11h ago

This is just disinformation from a dipshit. It was always suppose to be temporary.
The Florida Everglades immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" has served its purpose, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday, closing the makeshift facility heralded by the Trump administration and denounced as inhumane by civil rights groups.
DeSantis said the center, which opened in July 2025, was always meant to be only temporary until more permanent detention centers could be secured and federal officials now have that capacity.
"We stepped up because there was a gap, but my hope is that they'll be able to handle that," the Republican governor said at a news conference at the facility.
Officials announced a temporary closure of the facility earlier in June and sent all of the detainees to other facilities, saying hurricane season made it unsafe to keep them in the Everglades.1
