Ron DeSantis stated that individuals held at Florida's Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility all have final removal orders. He emphasized that each detainee cannot legally stay in the U.S. and has undergone a thorough process determining their status. The facility is designed for overflow, accommodating 3,000 people, with reports of about 750 housed there. DeSantis questioned objections to enforcing removal orders by the federal government, while some lawyers assert that not all detainees have received final orders of removal.
"Everybody here is already on a final removal order," DeSantis said during a July 25 press conference outside the Everglades facility. He repeated the statement in a July 29 speech to the Florida Sheriff's Association.
"The people that are going to the Alligator Alcatraz are illegally in the country. They've all already been given a final order of removal," DeSantis said. "So, if you have an order to be removed, what is the possible objection to the federal government enforcing that removal order?"
