MAGA Republicans are trying to make a quick buck via the new controversial immigration detention facility in the Everglades dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz."

While Gov. Ron DeSantis, President Donald Trump, and U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem treated the facility opening on Tuesday like a Hollywood movie premiere, Alligator Alcatraz merchandise, from baby onesies to T-shirts to beer koozies, popped up all over the internet to celebrate the new makeshift detention center. Florida officials even gave people visiting the 39-square-mile site in the Everglades some merch ahead of Trump's arrival.

In a video posted on X, conservative pundit Benny Johnson shows off his new hat, with an image of an alligator and "Alcatraz" displayed proudly below in all caps as he stands inside the barbed-wire facility.

"I just want everyone to know that there is official Alligator Alcatraz merch," Johnson says, pointing to his new hat. "There it is. Provided to us by the state of Florida. Incredible. Would you rock this drip? Look at that."

As the Florida GOP, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, and other Amazon sellers try to capitalize on the sprawling immigration facility that critics have slammed as cruel and inhumane, here is a roundup of Alligator Alacatraz gear that your neighborhood Florida Man is most likely to buy.
