Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis invoked emergency powers on Tuesday to clear the way for Alligator Alcatraz, a new illegal immigration detention center deep in the Everglades.
The plans for another complex to hold illegal immigrants apprehended by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and awaiting processing and deportation, were drafted and submitted by the Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) to the Department of Homeland Security, and received Secretary Kristi Noem’s approval on June 23.
