Deportation Flights Commence From Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz'
Imagine a temporary jail in the Florida Everglades called 'Alligator Alcatraz.'
This is where people who are in the US illegally are being held.
Flights have started to send these people back to their home countries.
The jail can hold a lot of people, and the plan is to expand if needed.
The name comes from the famous Alcatraz prison.
This plan is a big part of what former President Trump wants to do if he is re-elected.
Deportation flights have begun from Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention facility.
The facility, located in the Everglades, can hold up to 2,000 detainees with potential for expansion.
The camp was built on an abandoned airfield and is surrounded by swampland.
The facility's name is inspired by Alcatraz Island.
Deporting illegal immigrants is a key focus for Trump's second presidency.
