Does a viral image really show Hulk Hogan posing in front of caged migrants at "Alligator Alcatraz"? No, that's not true: The image is composed of two different pictures. One showed a Border Patrol facility in Texas in 2019

Flight tracking data appears to show that two military aircraft left the facility this week for Texas and Louisiana.

The Department of Homeland Security views Alligator Alcatraz as a model to be replicated nationwide. Texas, which as of June, already has more ICE detainees than any other state, has positioned itself as a willing partner. Gov. Greg Abbott claimed through a spokesman that the state has offered “4,000 beds for detention.”

Republican states are considering building versions of Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz," a detention facility for illegal immigrants that was celebrated by President Donald Trump.

The more you read about Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz and Texas’ disastrous floods, the more you realize what they share in common, for while they’re two wildly different stories, both show how politics and spin have displaced competence and integrity as the driving core of MAGA-era governing.

The companies and their married chief executives, Carlos Duart and Tina Vidal-Duart, have given a total of $1.9 million to the two state political action committees supporting DeSantis’ bids for governor and to the Republican Party of Florida.

The United States is constructing its largest immigrant detention center yet in West Texas, with the ability to hold up to 5,000 people.

The Trump administration’s push to quickly ramp up immigration arrests has led to overcrowding at ICE facilities and allegations of inhumane and unsanitary conditions.
