The Florida Republican Party has launched merchandise promoting the new migrant detention facility known as "Alligator Alcatraz," which is being constructed in the Everglades and operated by ICE. The merchandise, including T-shirts, hats, and beverage coolers, is available through the Florida GOP online store and has reportedly been selling rapidly. This rollout coincides with President Donald Trump's scheduled visit to the facility.
