As ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ begins taking in illegal migrants, one US state has floated opening another detention center surrounded by another menacing animal – bears. Alaska responded to a Trump administration official’s call for migrant detention centers similar to the newly opened one in the middle of the Florida Everglades to be built.

Alaska has humorously suggested a 'Bear Alcatraz' for migrants in response to Florida's alligator-themed detention facility, amid rising demands for new detention sites by the Trump administration.

Five Florida state Democrat lawmakers on Thursday were denied access to the state's newly opened "migrant" detention facility that has been dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz."
