Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is considering more ICE facilities in Florida.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said on Wednesday that Camp Blanding Joint Training Center in Clay County is among the sites being considered for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention facility.
During reporter questions at a news conference in Tampa, DeSantis said the Florida Division of Emergency Management is finalizing plans to create more detention facilities across the state and that Camp Blanding is among the locations that will soon be formally announced.
“We have some capacity there,” DeSantis said.
Florida is also building a migrant detention center called “Alligator Alcatraz.”
It has the ability to house as many as 1000 illegal aliens.
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.
Uthmeier last week said immigrants in the U.S. illegally should be sent deep into the Everglades, or what he calls “Alligator Alcatraz.”
The “virtually abandoned airport facility right in the middle of the Everglades” would have the capacity to “house as many as 1,000 criminal aliens,” Uthmeier said in a video sharing his offer with the White House.
