The first wave of migrants has arrived at the ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ detention facility in Florida. The Trump administration says alligators, crocodiles, and pythons in the surrounding wetlands will keep detainees from escaping — but concerns have been raised about conditions, with the area prone to severe heat and flooding. President Trump says it will hold the most "menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet."

On this episode of The President's Path, Caitríona Perry and Sumi Somaskanda speak to Bernd Debusmann Jr., who was with Donald Trump when he visited the new Florida detention centre, where around 3,000 migrants are expected to be held as part of his crackdown on illegal immigration.
