Donald Trump Threatens To Throw ‘Bad Citizens’ Out Of America As Next Major Action
Donald Trump has proposed deporting American criminals to a remote detention facility dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” during a visit to an Everglades migrant center. Surrounded by swampland and alligators, Trump suggested removing “bad people” who’ve lived in the U.S. “for a long time” – including some born in the country.
The former president framed this as his potential “next job,” expanding on previous deportation threats. Earlier this year, he mentioned sending convicts to an El Salvadoran prison currently holding migrants.
Trump described the Everglades facility as an ideal location, comparing it to the infamous Alcatraz prison. “It might be as good as the real Alcatraz,” he remarked, noting the surrounding swamps would prevent escapes.
The site would reportedly house what Trump called “the most menacing migrants” and “most vicious people on the planet.” He joked it wasn’t somewhere he’d choose to go hiking.
This proposal marks an escalation of Trump’s hardline immigration rhetoric. His comments suggest plans to extend deportation efforts beyond undocumented immigrants to include natural-born citizens convicted of crimes.
Critics likely will challenge the legality of deporting U.S. citizens. Trump’s remarks come as he campaigns on tough law-and-order policies ahead of the next election.
The “Alligator Alcatraz” concept reflects Trump’s continued focus on dramatic immigration solutions. While details remain unclear, the proposal signals his intent to pursue aggressive deportation policies if reelected.
