One member of the governor's cabinet has an idea of where to put "criminal aliens."
"Attorney General James Uthmeier here at the Miami-Dade/Collier Training Facility. This is an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades."
Uthmeier wants to call that facility, which is owned by Miami-Dade County, "Alligator Alcatraz."
That's because it's surrounded by gators and pythons, as the attorney general explains in a video he posted this week to social media.
Uthmeier says the 30-square mile property would present an efficient, low-cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility that could house up to a thousand illegal immigrants.
If local, state and federal agencies approve it, the AG believes it could operating in '30 to 60 days.'
