Gov. Ron DeSantis said Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in northeastern Florida is being considered for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, News4Jax reported.
The Florida Republican told reporters Wednesday the Florida Division of Emergency Management is finalizing plans to create more detention facilities throughout the state.
“We have some capacity there,” DeSantis said, of Camp Blanding.
Camp Blanding is home to the headquarters of the Florida National Guard, providing ranges, education facilities, and other services, according to News4Jax.
Florida is also building a migrant detention center in the Everglades that state Attorney General James Uthmeier has nicknamed “Alligator Alcatraz,” the Orlando Sentinel reports.
A 39-square-mile migrant detention center could be up and running by July, according to Tricia McLaughlin, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security.
