Just as you may have thought that it was finally safe to think about American politics without thinking about Florida's Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, he has slinked his way into the national news again.

On Tuesday, June 1, President Donald Trump toured the newly-established immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Florida Everglades. This 5,000-bed facility, controversial for its surrounding alligator-infested waters, symbolizes the stringent measures of his immigration policies.

Trump campaigned on several promises to tackle illegal immigration but faces a shortage of detention beds. The One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump’s tax and spending plan, passed the Senate during his Florida stop and includes $150 billion for his deportation agenda over four years.
