Florida officials are pursuing plans to build a second detention center to house immigrants, as part of the state’s aggressive push to support the federal government’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier is getting pushback from environmentalists who say they were "blindsided" by his proposal to build a temporary migrant detention center in the heart of the Everglades that he has dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz.

James Uthmeier sneers that liberal protesters will not be able to picket new facility because of its situation deep in the Everglades: ‘Good luck finding it’
