On Tuesday, June 1, President Donald Trump toured the newly-established immigration detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" in the Florida Everglades. This 5,000-bed facility, controversial for its surrounding alligator-infested waters, symbolizes the stringent measures of his immigration policies.

Trump announced on Tuesday that his administration is already working on reopening the original Alcatraz, in California. Newsweek's live blog is closed.

Trump is celebrating — and even joking about — the harsh conditions of the controversial immigration detention facility in Florida.
