A sign along the Tamiami Trail, also known as U.S. Highway 41, marks the entrance to Alligator Alcatraz. The complex is an immigration detention facility located at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport inside Big Cypress National Preserve in Ochopee, Florida, United States. Announced in June 2025 by the Attorney General, James Uthmeier, and championed by Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, it is situated in the Everglades west of Miami. The name alludes to both the local reptile population and the former maximum-security Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary in San Francisco Bay, California.
