Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced the conversion of an underused state prison in north Florida into a second migrant detention center, named the "Deportation Depot." The facility, located at Baker Correctional, is designed to hold over 1,300 detainees awaiting deportation and is positioned approximately 15 minutes from a nearby runway to expedite deportation processes. This new center is modeled after the existing "Alligator Alcatraz" detention site and aims to increase the state's capacity for immigration enforcement. The Republican Party of Florida has embraced the initiative, even releasing merchandise branded with the "Deportation Depot" name. The announcement has stirred concerns among local residents. Meanwhile, Florida continues to experience strong tourism growth, setting a record with 34.4 million visitors in the second quarter of 2025, underscoring the state's appeal as a travel destination. The expansion of migrant detention facilities in Florida has also drawn attention from other states, with the Nevada Republican Party exploring similar options. Additionally, there are ongoing debates about the use of military facilities for immigration detention, as seen with Camp Atterbury's conversion into an ICE detention site.
