Laura Loomer, a far-right activist and staunch Trump supporter, recently sparked outrage with her inflammatory comments suggesting that migrants could be fed to alligators at a new detention center in Florida's Everglades.

This controversial facility, dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz,' is designed to process and deport immigrants with criminal records and has a capacity of up to 5,000 detainees.

Despite the backlash, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis supports the facility, arguing that the swampy terrain serves as a natural barrier to prevent escapes.

The estimated annual operating cost of Alligator Alcatraz is around $450 million, raising concerns about the financial implications and the treatment of migrants.

The detention center has faced condemnation from human rights organizations and environmentalists due to its harsh conditions for detainees and potential harm to the Everglades ecosystem.

During a visit to the detention center, Donald Trump made sarcastic remarks about the alligators' role in deterring escape, suggesting that detainees should learn to run in a zigzag to avoid them.

Both Loomer's and Trump's comments have been criticized for their dehumanizing tone and for trivializing the use of wildlife as a method of immigration control.

Florida's Attorney General James Uthmeier emphasized that the facility's purpose is to detain 'criminal illegal aliens,' further highlighting the facility's controversial nature.

Loomer defended her remarks by claiming 'alligator lives matter,' which many interpreted as a derogatory reference to the Latino population in the U.S.

This incident is part of Loomer's history of making racist remarks and spreading conspiracy theories, which has characterized her public persona.

Known for her inflammatory rhetoric, Loomer has previously worked with Project Veritas and has made headlines for her controversial statements, including Islamophobic attacks on public figures.

Currently residing in Palm Beach, Florida, Loomer has made two unsuccessful attempts to run for Congress as a Republican, indicating her ongoing commitment to her political activism.
