Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, expressing confidence that the federal government will eventually reimburse the state for the cost of "Alligator Alcatraz," the Everglades immigration detention center that closed this week after less than a year in operation. The numbers tell a different story so far: Florida taxpayers are on the hook for $1.2 billion, but the state has received only $58 million in federal reimbursement — less than 5 percent of what it's owed. With roughly 21,000 detainees processed through the facility over an average stay of 16 days, the math works out to about $3,571 per detainee per day, making it likely the most expensive immigration detention center in U.S. history.
