There was no evidence of the onetime rivalry between Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis today as they came together in a common cause: opening an immigrant detention center in the swampy heart of Florida.

Trump and his top deputies visited the Everglades, where Florida officials delivered a win for his anti-immigration agenda and positioned the state at the forefront of his crackdown.

The facility, which Republican leaders dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” is set to house 3,000 detainees and took just eight days to construct.

“It might be as good as the real Alcatraz,” Trump told reporters today. “It’s a little controversial, but I couldn’t care less.”

Rep. Ralph Norman, a conservative who has previously said he was opposed to the Senate-passed version of President Donald Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill, now says he will back the bill in the procedural vote and final passage, after receiving assurances from Trump that his concerns will be addressed.

“It’s the right thing to do at the right time,” Norman told reporters.

Norman said that the president had given conservative holdouts assurances that the green energy tax credits, as well as other conservative priorities, would be “dealt with” — though Norman refused to say if that would happen by executive order or by future legislative action — during their meeting at the White House earlier today.

Some Republicans have been vocal in their opposition to the Senate’s slower timeline to phase out some energy tax credits, and Norman said it was important for them to get assurances on that from the White House.

“We got clarification on what’s going to be enforced. We got clarification on how the IRAs were going to be dealt with. We got clarification on the tax cuts — and still we’ll be meeting tomorrow on the specifics of it. But no, I feel comfortable with this,” Norman said.

Pressed on how they can trust leadership will continue to take them seriously, if they still fold, Norman said, “We get the best we can get, and we go as far as we can go to get for the American people, what we need. That’s not bluffing. The reason we have credibility, they know we’ll vote no.”

He added, “Now look, this is a game of — and it is a game — of getting the most you can for your consistency. And we’re doing that, I’ll do that. As long as I’m up here, I’ll do that.”

Republicans early Thursday morning advanced President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” after a marathon day of negotiations and a dramatic overnight vote.

Republicans have kept it open for more than an hour as they try to convince the “no” votes to flip and try to win over those who haven’t yet to cast a ballot.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Trump spent much of the day trying to win over deficit hawks in the House Freedom Caucus and beyond who have threatened to block the bill and grind floor action to a halt. And Trump spoke with several of the holdouts by phone around 1 a.m.
