Trump campaigned on several promises to tackle illegal immigration but faces a shortage of detention beds. The One Big Beautiful Bill, Trump’s tax and spending plan, passed the Senate during his Florida stop and includes $150 billion for his deportation agenda over four years.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday he would like to see facilities like the new so-called "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center in Florida 's Everglades in other states. "Well, I think would like to see them in many states. Really, many states," the president said. "And, you know, at some point, they might morph into a system."
