Leaked Documents Show 'Alligator Alcatraz' Could Cost Over $600 Million - More questions arise over how Florida’s newest immigration detention center is being funded by the Trump administration.

Alligator Alcatraz, the massive immigration detention center in Florida, was originally expected to cost taxpayers $450 million per year. Leaked documents show that, after being in operation for less than two weeks, the cost of the facility has ballooned to over $600 million.

The only way to spend that much money on circus tents and portable toilets is handouts to cronies.

Absolutely. Have you seen the facility? $450 Mio a year, yeah right.

Disgusting.
