President Donald Trump on Tuesday visited "Alligator Alcatraz" — the newest illegal immigrant detention facility in the nation that's located in the Florida Everglades and surrounded by swamplands teeming with alligators and pythons.
"It's known as 'Alligator Alcatraz,' which is very appropriate because I looked outside, and that's not a place I want to go hiking anytime soon," Trump said Tuesday during his tour. "But very soon this facility will have some of the most menacing migrants, some of the most vicious people on the planet."
"We're surrounded by miles of treacherous swampland, and the only way out is really deportation," the president added. "And a lot of these people are self-deporting back to their country where they came from…" READ MORE.

Judge blocks immigrants' deportation to South Sudan one day after Supreme Court clears the way
A federal judge on Friday temporarily halted deportations of eight immigrants to war-torn South Sudan the day after the Supreme Court greenlighted their removal , saying new claims by the immigrants' lawyers deserved a hearing. District Judge Randolph Moss proceeded with the extraordinary Fourth of July hearing on Friday afternoon, directing the Trump administration to discuss whether a prior Supreme Court ruling that immigrants slated for removal under an 18th century wartime act invoked by President Donald Trump deserve due process might also apply to those due to be removed to South Sudan. The administration has been trying to deport the immigrants for weeks. None are from South Sudan, which is enmeshed in civil war and where the U.S government advises no one should travel before making their own funeral arrangements. The government flew them to Djibouti but couldn't move them further because a Massachusetts court had ruled no immigrant could be sent to a new country without a chance to have a court hearing. The Supreme Court vacated that decision last month, then Thursday night issued a new order clarifying that that meant the immigrants could be moved to South Sudan. Lawyers for the immigrants, who hail from Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Vietnam and other countries, filed an emergency request to halt their removal later that night. The case was assigned to Moss, who issued his order to let the government respond and 'to provide time for a hearing.' That hearing was happening Friday afternoon. The temporary stay was first reported by legal journalist Chris Geidner.

Elon Musk Suggests His New Political Party Will Target Key Senate, House Seats
Elon Musk suggested a third political party, which he's floated as the 'America Party,' will hold significant sway in the Senate and House under slim Republican margins, as he aspires to form a competing party after breaking with the GOP over President Donald Trump's signature policy bill.

(Photo by Tom Brenner For The Washington Post via Getty Images) The Washington Post via Getty Images Musk tweeted a poll to his X followers Friday asking if they want 'independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system.' In a subsequent tweet, he said 'one way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts,' noting the party could have significant sway under a slim majority that 'would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.' Friday's tweets are the latest threats from Musk this week to form a new political party, as he feuded with Republicans over Trump's signature policy bill that passed the House Thursday: 'If this insane spending bill passes, the America Party will be formed the next day,' he wrote Monday. 55%. That's the share of Americans who have an unfavorable view of Musk, compared to 37% who hold a positive opinion, according to a dashboard from statistician Nate Silver's Silver Bulletin aggregating hundreds of polls on Musk. Key Background Musk and Trump have engaged in a heated back-and-forth over Musk's criticism of what's known as the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act that passed the House Thursday and now heads to Trump's desk for signage. Musk—who spearheaded cost-cutting measures at the Department of Government Efficiency—took issue with the bill over the estimated $3.3 trillion it would add to the deficit over the next 10 years. Trump has responded to Musk's threats by making veiled threats to revoke the government subsidies his companies receive and to 'look into' deporting him.
