'Deportation Depot': Florida unveils plans for immigration detention facility | LiveNOW from FOX
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has announced his plans to expand the state's capacity to detain and deport undocumented immigrants through a new "Deportation Depot."DeSantis made the announcement at a news conference on Thursday morning at the Baker Correctional Institution in Sanderson, Florida.
DeSantis said he's confident Florida needs additional capacity to host undocumented immigrants in addition to "Alligator Alcatraz" in South Florida.
Although the governor had originally eyed Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Clay County to expand the state's immigration enforcement efforts, he said the location may not have a big enough runway to handle large planes.
The governor said there was a massive area vacant at Baker Correctional Institution, and it's right down the road from Lake City Airport, which made it an appealing additional option.
The new "Deportation Depot" will be able to hold more than 1,300 detainees with the same services offered as Alligator Alcatraz. Florida Emergency Management Director Kevin Guthrie said temporary dormitories could allow for capacity to reach about 2,000.
State officials said the immigration detention center will cost about $6 million, compared to a projected $75-100 million price tag for a facility at Camp Blanding. The governor said costs for the facility will be reimbursed through federal partners.
