Right-wing media figures and social media influencers are sharing seemingly AI-generated content about Florida’s new migrant detention facility in the Everglades, including images of alligators in “ICE” hats and a picture of a prison surrounded by a moat. Some of the images were previously shared by the White House and Department of Homeland Security.

Commentators have also offered widespread praise online of the facility, which is being called “Alligator Alcatraz,” and one influencer was even invited to tour the center before it opened.

Some social media platforms are actively recommending content that appears to be AI-generated to users, including in search results for “Alligator Alcatraz” on TikTok and Instagram.
