President Trump is scheduled to visit Florida’s new “Alligator Alcatraz” facility, which he plans to use for housing illegal aliens, on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed to reporters earlier.

“There is only one road leading in, and there is— the only way out is a one way flight,” Leavitt said. “It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain.”

The President has long embraced tough lock-up conditions for violent criminals “as a symbol of Law, Order, and JUSTICE.” Last month, President Trump ordered the Bureau of Prisons to reopen the original Alcatraz off the coast of San Francisco to house the “dregs of society.” The historic facility is known for being surrounded by ice-cold water, strong tidal currents, and, sometimes, Great White sharks, making escape nearly impossible.

As The Gateway Pundit recently reported, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier announced an incredible new Alcatraz-like concept that the State of Florida plans to use to house criminal illegal aliens as they are deported. The “Alligator Alcatraz” facility in the Florida Everglades will utilize Florida’s natural defenses, including alligators, pythons, and dense swampland, to keep alien criminals locked up.

“If people get out, there’s not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons—nowhere to go, nowhere to hide,” said Uthmeier in a savage warning.

The message to illegal aliens is clear: If you try to escape, you will die.

Leavitt confirmed to reporters on Monday that the President will attend the opening of the facility, informally known as Alligator Alcatraz, as the administration seeks to increase the number of alien arrests and deportations.

WATCH:

Leavitt: Tomorrow, President Trump will travel to the great state of Florida to attend the opening of a new illegal alien detention center, located at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, alongside Secretary Kristi Noem, Governor Ron DeSantis, Congressman Byron Donalds, and other state and local leaders. We hope to see many of you there.

The facility is in the heart of the Everglades and will be informally known as Alligator Alcatraz. There is only one road leading in, and there is— the only way out is a one way flight. It is isolated and surrounded by dangerous wildlife and unforgiving terrain. The facility will have up to 5,000 beds to house, process, and deport criminal illegal aliens. This is an efficient and low cost way to help carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in American history.

Leavitt was later asked about the facility and the One Big Beautiful Bill, and she confirmed that the alligators will be a "deterrent" for illegals trying to escape. She further highlighted the importance of Congress passing the One Big Beautiful Bill "because we need more detention facilities across the country."

Reporter: You mentioned the dangerous wildlife at the Alligator Alcatraz. Is that a design feature?

Leavitt: Well, look, when you have illegal murders and rapists and heinous criminals in a detention facility surrounded by alligators, yes, I do think that's a deterrent for them to try to escape. We do know that some of these illegal criminals have escaped from other detention facilities, like one in New Jersey, which I know was recently reported on. So of course, we want to keep the American people safe, and we want to remove these public safety threats from our streets, and we want to effectively detain them as best as we can.

As for why the President is going, I think his trip to this detention facility actually underscores the need to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill because we need more detention facilities across the country. The last administration let in nearly 20 million illegal people from all over the world, and this administration is focused on arresting and detaining them. But in comparison to that 20 million illegal criminal population in our country, we only have 7,000 ICE agents in the interior who are doing this very important work. And so, we obviously need more personnel, we need more resources, and that's why we need to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill.

Politico reported:

The Senate Parliamentarian advised lawmakers that a new tax on those who fund litigation for financial gain, included in the GOP’s “big, beautiful bill,” would not comply with strict Senate rules that govern what can be included in the legislation and still let it pass by a simple majority.

The provision would tax the financial rewards that third parties receive from funding litigation and would have taken 31.8 percent of “qualified litigation proceeds” in a given year.

The decision from Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, first reported by POLITICO, suggests that Republicans will move to strip it from their legislative text. The issue has been championed by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), who announced his retirement on Sunday after voting not to proceed with the megabill.

Tillis on Sunday announced he will not seek reelection after President Trump went scorched earth on him for voting against the ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’

On Saturday evening Tillis voted ‘no’ to advance President Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill.’ He said he will also vote no on the final passage.

President Trump went off on Tillis and threatened to help oust him from office.

Tillis caved THE NIGHT Trump scorched him.

Senator Tillis called President Trump and Majority Leader Thune on Saturday night and informed them he wouldn’t be running for reelection.

“I slept like a baby last night,” he added

Senator John Fetterman was already fed up on Monday morning before the all-day Senate vote-a-rama, complaining to reporters that he missed his beach trip because he had to stay in Washington to cast votes on amendments to the Big Beautiful Bill. 

“Oh my God. I just want to go home,” he griped in the Capitol basement. “I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach. My family’s going to be back before me.”

The Senate proceeded to the floor to vote on amendments to the Big Beautiful Bill, which the President wants sent to his desk by Friday, after spending the weekend advancing the bill and ironing out the details.

Fetterman said this is not what he signed up for and that legislators shouldn’t be required to stay “till some ungodly hour.”

“I’m going to vote no. There’s no drama. The votes are going to go. In fact, the only interesting votes are going to be on the margin, whether that’s Collins, or Johnson, and those, but all the Democrats, we all know how that’s going to go,” he told reporters.

Reporter: Did you get any clues on the floor about what time this might wrap?

Fetterman: Oh my God. I just want to go home. I’ve missed our entire trip to the beach. My family’s going to be back before me. So, and again, I’m going to vote no. There’s no drama. The votes are going to go. In fact, the only interesting votes are going to be on the margin, whether that’s Collins, or Johnson, and those, but all the Democrats, we all know how that’s going to go. And I think, I don’t think it’s really helpful to put people here ’till some ungodly hour.

The House is scheduled to meet on Wednesday to vote on the final version of the bill as passed by the Senate.

Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris has revealed that a shotgun was used in the deadly shooting in Coeur d’Alene that left two firefighters dead and another injured.

During his recent press conference, a reporter asked Norris, “Sir, could you describe the weapon?”

Norris responded, “It appears right now we have a shotgun that was used.”

He added, “But we’re still processing the scene.”

The reporter responded, “Obviously, a shotgun is not a sniper weapon.”

Norris answered, “Correct.”

He added, “Let me set up the scene for everybody. When you’re in a rural area, and your heavily tree’d heavily brushed, when you’re taken fire, it adds a whole different dynamic to teh situation.”

“So what was reported, by people on scene, by police officers on scene, they believed they were taken sniper fire, yes.”

WATCH:

On Sunday evening, Norris held an emergency press conference and stated, “We are actively taking sniper fire as we speak.”

After making the statement, it was widely reported that the shooter, who has now been identified as Wess Roley, used a sniper rifle.

Norris has not ruled out that a rifle was used completely and shared; authorities are still searching the scene to find any other weapons, including a sniper rifle.
