A state-run detention facility for migrants has opened in the Florida Everglades. Alligator Alcatraz - that is the official name - was assembled in eight days and opened on July 1. President Donald Trump visited the remote site on opening day, built at an old runway near the Miami-Dade and Collier county line.

Following the opening of 'Alligator Alcatraz', Camp Blanding is set to become the state’s second immigration detention center. What you should know.

Florida is in for a wet weekend as the chances that a tropical system will develop continue to climb.
