Florida Opening Second Illegal Immigration Detention Center, ‘Deportation Depot’: ‘Demand’ Is There

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) on Thursday announced the soon-to-be opening of a second illegal immigration detention center in the state called the “Deportation Depot,” explaining that the demand is now here for it.

DeSantis made the announcement during a press conference in Florida’s Baker County. He explained that they were originally considering Camp Blanding for the second immigration detention center, until they stumbled upon an unused portion of the Baker Correctional Institution, which already had so much of the infrastructure they were looking for, saving millions of dollars. Further, he noted that Camp Blanding’s runway did not have the capacity to handle large migrant flights and noted that the Lake City Airport is close to the second facility.

“So I’m here to announce today that we are authorizing and will be soon be opening this new illegal immigration detention processing and deportation facility here in North Florida. We are calling this the Deportation Depot,” DeSantis formally announced.

“It is going to be located here at Baker Correctional Institution, and again, the process — the reason of this is not to just house people indefinitely. We want to process, stage, and then return illegal aliens to their home country. That is the name of the game, and that’s what we do in Florida. We know that this is an important national priority, not only of President Trump, but of the American people,” DeSantis said, reminding reporters that immigration was a top issue in the last presidential election.

Whatever works. Likely won’t draw as much flak as Alligator Alcatraz.

I like it. Next to every Home Depot, there should also be a Deportation Depot.

Lock them up in a bunch of Florida alligator alcatraz's but don't deport them until after the 2030 census.

Genius ideas often begin on FR!

Pretty sure it’s a ‘legal’ immigration detention center.

Advertise that they need to show up at Deportation Depot instead of Home Depot. Most don’t speak English so they won’t know the difference.

[VanShuyten]

Should name it “go Home Depot”, to make them more comfortable by being in a familiar place.

Good for DeSantis...

It won’t get as much flak as Alligator Alcatraz. North Florida (except for a large portion of Jacksonville) is solid conservative. We don’t have so many displaced Yankee liberals and snowbirds…

Free airline flights when you stay at the Deport Resorts. You have luxury accommodations on Python and Alligator Airlines.
