Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has stirred controversy with a bold new proposal that would see migrants deported to remote and hazardous locations, including the infamous Alcatraz Island and alligator-infested areas. The plan, which critics have labelled as inhumane, is part of DeSantis' hardline stance on immigration.
Speaking at a press conference, DeSantis defended the proposal, arguing that it would serve as a deterrent to illegal immigration. "We need to send a clear message that Florida will not tolerate unlawful entry," he stated. "These measures are necessary to protect our borders and our citizens."
However, human rights groups have condemned the plan, calling it a violation of basic human dignity. "This is not just cruel—it's dangerous," said one activist. "Sending people to places like Alcatraz or areas with dangerous wildlife is a blatant disregard for their safety."
The proposal has also drawn criticism from political opponents, who accuse DeSantis of using fear tactics to score political points. "This isn't policy—it's theatre," said one Democratic lawmaker. "We need real solutions, not gimmicks."
Despite the backlash, DeSantis remains steadfast, insisting that his approach is the only way to address what he calls an "immigration crisis." The debate is likely to intensify as the plan moves forward.
