"No cages in the Everglades." โ Miccosukee Chairman Talbert Cypress ๐โ๏ธโ๐ฅ
Ron DeSantis & the U.S. government are constructing a makeshift ICE detention center in the Florida Everglades, directly adjacent to 19 traditional Miccosukee and Seminole villages along the Tamiami Trail.
The facility is designed to hold up to 5,000 migrants on a former airstrip inside Big Cypress National Preserve โ a sacred cultural stronghold protected by the Miccosukee for generations.
Indigenous and climate leaders warn this project could desecrate the land, threaten critical water systems, and set ecological protections back decades.
