The state stated in August that it had already spent about $250 million at Alligator Alcatraz. Most of the expenses are linked to contracts with private companies that were awarded under a 2023 emergency order declaring illegal immigration an emergency, which allowed the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis to bypass laws that would have required following specific vendor acquisition regulations.

Department of Homeland Security estimated that the site would cost Florida taxpayers $450 million annually. During her visit to the site with President Donald Trump, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem promised that FEMA would reimburse the state for those expenses through its $650 million shelter fund. The Biden administration created the program in 2023 to allow FEMA to award grants to state, local, or nonprofit organizations that provide support services to migrants released from ICE custody.

Money well spent! USA! USA! USA!
