Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the opening of a second state-run immigration detention facility, dubbed the "Deportation Depot," located at the Baker Correctional Institution in northern Florida. This facility, a repurposed shuttered prison, is expected to hold up to 2,000 detainees awaiting deportation. The new center is described as a sister location to the existing "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center and is part of a broader state effort to expedite the processing and deportation of undocumented immigrants. The announcement has been accompanied by the release of related merchandise by the Republican Party of Florida. Meanwhile, on the federal level, documents obtained by The Washington Post reveal that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) plans to double immigrant detention space this year, reflecting an aggressive expansion strategy that has sparked lawsuits and accusations of cruelty. Critics have called for reforms or abolition of ICE, citing its role in detaining immigrants and separating families. The developments underscore ongoing tensions surrounding immigration enforcement policies in the United States.
