🚨 BREAKING: Gov Ron DeSantis announces deportations will continue at Alligator Alcatraz as they fight the ruling from an activist judge.
Governor Ron DeSantis:
“So we have the detainee processing center down in South Florida at Alligator Alcatraz. I just wanted to say this was not something that was unexpected. This is a judge that was not going to give us a fair shake. This was preordained, very much an activist judge that is trying to do policy from the bench.
This is not going to deter us. We’re going to continue working on the deportations, advancing that mission. We knew that this would be something that would likely happen, and we will respond accordingly.
These individuals have already been ordered to be removed by the current system, and yet the previous administration didn’t want to do anything about it. We’re now in this position where we’re leading the state efforts to help the Trump administration actually enforce the law and actually remove these illegal aliens from not just Florida but from our country.
And that’s something that we didn’t have for four years, and now that’s something that we’re absolutely on board with making sure happens going forward. So we’re not going to be deterred. We’re totally in the right on this.
But I would also note, because of the success of Alligator Alcatraz, there’s demand for more. So I did announce that we are gonna be opening another facility right outside of Jacksonville in Baker County, and we’ve called that the Deportation Depot.
And so that is something that will be able to hold another 2,000. There’s an airport close by, and so you have the processing and then the removal.”
