The Alligator Alcatraz facility, opened in July, has faced criticism over inhumane conditions, including delayed meals and flooding. A judge has temporarily halted construction at another facility but allowed ongoing operations. DeSantis expressed confidence in the necessity for more shelters as demand for migrant detention rises amidst ongoing ICE activity.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced plans to build a second migrant detention facility called Deportation Depot, about 45 miles from Jacksonville, to accommodate increasing migrant numbers.
