This facility symbolizes Florida's alignment with Trump's strict immigration stance, as the state intensifies its crackdown on immigrants. Florida officials have collaborated with over 200 local law enforcement agencies to enhance enforcement of immigration laws. The location, an old airport, has been chosen for its remoteness, emphasizing the harsh conditions that immigrants might face. The opening announcement has drawn both scrutiny and support as the region faces issues of overcrowding in existing facilities.
