Named the ‘Deportation Depot,’ the new facility follows the opening of Alligator Alcatraz in the Everglades.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced on Aug. 14 that the state would open a second deportation facility, “Deportation Depot,” to further increase Florida’s ability to assist the Trump Administration’s push to detain, process, and deport illegal immigrants.

The facility, he said, would be slightly smaller than the state’s recently opened facility, Alligator Alcatraz.
