EXCLUSIVE: Indiana will be getting their own version of Alligator Alcatraz in Florida with 1,000 beds.

The "Speedway Slammer" will be located at the Miami Correctional Center in Miami County, which is in between Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. The name is a nod to Indiana's racing culture, such as the annual Indianapolis 500. 

"We are proud to work with President Trump and Secretary Noem as they remove the worst of the worst with this innovative partnership," Indiana Gov. Mike Braun said in a statement on Tuesday. "Indiana is taking a comprehensive and collaborative approach to combating illegal immigration and will continue to lead the way among states."

RED STATES CONSIDER ‘ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ’ SPINOFFS AS WH URGES THEM TO FOLLOW DESANTIS’ LEAD: 'LOTS OF BEARS'

The funds are sourced from a reconciliation bill signed by President Donald Trump last month, dubbed the "one big, beautiful bill." 

According to DHS, it provided the funding for the 287(g) program, which fosters collaboration between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and local governments, in addition to 80,000 ICE detention beds.

"COMING SOON to Indiana: The Speedway Slammer. Today, we’re announcing a new partnership with the state of Indiana to expand detention bed space by 1,000 beds," Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. "Thanks to Governor Braun for his partnership to help remove the worst of the worst out of our country. If you are in America illegally, you could find yourself in Indiana’s Speedway Slammer. Avoid arrest and self deport now using the CBP Home App."

TRUMP SAYS ONLY WAY OUT OF ‘ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ’ IS DEPORTATION

The Trump administration has continued deportation operations as it encourages people who are in the country illegally, but do not have an additional criminal record, to self-deport. The administration is offering $1,000 and free travel out of the country if people exit on their own, which opens up the door for the individual to return legally, according to DHS.

Alligator Alcatraz opened this summer under the purview of federal officials and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, and it’s meant to be a stopping point before individuals in the country illegally are deported. The facility used state funds at first, but will also get money from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. It can hold 2,000 people but is expected to hold 4,000 in the future, and deportation flights already started at the end of last month.

"I'm pleased to report that those flights out of Alligator Alcatraz by DHS have begun. The cadence is increasing. We've already had a number of flights, in the last few days, we've had hundreds of illegals [that] have been removed from here," DeSantis said at the time.

SELF-DEPORT OR END UP IN 'ALLIGATOR ALCATRAZ,' NOEM WARNS MIGRANTS DURING TRUMP VISIT

The facility was a defunct airport in the Everglades, and a second center is likely to be built in Florida, according to WJHL. Sunshine State leaders faced scrutiny from both left-wing immigration and environmental activists due to its location and purpose.

"Building a bare-bones tented detention center on hot tarmac in the middle of the Everglades and exposing imprisoned immigrants to the elements is a cruel and absurd proposal," Melissa Abdo, PhD, National Parks Conservation Association Sun Coast Regional Director, said in a July 1 statement in opposition to the facility. "The Everglades’ intense heat, humidity, and storms can be hazardous without proper precautions. This facility’s remote, harsh nature could leave people in very real danger, especially as Florida’s heat index skyrockets and hurricane season escalates."

The Trump administration's Environmental Protection Agency is weighing a plan to slash a multibillion-dollar Biden-era green energy program focused on installing solar panels on residential properties, Fox News Digital has learned.

The EPA is considering sending letters to dozens of nonprofits and state groups that received federal grants under the Biden administration's "Solar for All" program to inform them the grants have been canceled, the New York Times reported earlier Tuesday. The Solar for All program is a $7 billion initiative launched in 2024 to deliver residential solar to "900,000 low-income and disadvantaged households" across the country. 

Fox News Digital learned that the EPA has not made a final decision on the grants as of Tuesday afternoon.

"With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill, EPA is working to ensure congressional intent is fully implemented in accordance with the law," an EPA spokesperson told Fox Digital Tuesday when asked about the report to cancel the grants. 

The One Big Beautiful Bill Act includes provisions related to solar, including phasing out solar tax credits.

GOP LAWMAKERS MOVE TO ROLL BACK BIDEN-ERA ENERGY PROGRAMS

The Biden administration announced in April 2024 that 60 nonprofits and state groups nationwide would receive $7 billion in grant awards to install residential solar, which administration leaders predicted would lead to more than $350 million in annual savings on electric bills for middle- and low-income households. It is unclear how much of the $7 billion in funds already has been spent. 

The program was funded through the Inflation Reduction Act, and was touted by President Joe Biden's EPA Administrator Michael Regan and John Podesta, Biden's adviser for international climate policy, as a win for low-income homes in need of cheaper electric bills. 

"Solar is the cheapest form of electricity – and one of the best ways to lower energy costs for American families," Podesta said in a press release at the time. "Today’s announcement of EPA’s Solar for All awards will mean that low-income communities, and not just well-off communities, will feel the cost-saving benefits of solar thanks to this investment."

Biden placed green energy initiatives as a top priority throughout his presidency. In the waning days of his administration, for example, he became the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest to tout his green legacy before departing office, and also declared during a climate summit in September 2024 that he and then-Vice President Kamala Harris pursued "an ambitious climate policy focused on growth" despite being "told it couldn’t get done."

The Inflation Reduction Act included a handful of green energy projects, such as $350 million in grants aimed at reducing "embodied greenhouse gas emissions of construction materials and products," and Democrats pledged it would reduce carbon emissions by roughly 40% by 2030. 

TRUMP’S ENERGY DEPARTMENT IS TAKING BACK OUR HOME APPLIANCES FROM BERSERK BUREAUCRATS

The EPA previously has taken a hatchet to Biden-era federal grants related to the environment, including canceling $20 billion in grants under the Inflation Reduction Act – which has led to an ongoing court battle. EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin said in March that the $20 billion in U.S. tax dollars were "parked at an outside financial institution in a deliberate effort to limit government oversight, doling out your money through just eight pass-through, politically connected, unqualified, and in some cases brand-new NGOs."

The EPA's consideration to terminate the solar grants comes after the Trump administration announced the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management was canceling new offshore wind development on 3.5 million acres nationwide at the end of July, and called wind and solar energy "a blight on our country," while adding "smart countries don’t use it."
