Florida to Launch 'Deportation Depot' Immigration Jail in Baker County
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the opening of a new immigration detention facility called 'the deportation depot' at the closed Baker correctional institution, as a federal lawsuit seeks to close the controversial Alligator Alcatraz detention center in the Everglades due to inhumane conditions and environmental concerns. The new facility aims to hold up to 1,300 undocumented immigrants awaiting deportation, emphasizing Florida's aggressive stance on immigration enforcement.
