Florida officials announced early last week that they'd gotten federal approval to build a detention facility at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, an isolated, 39-square mile airstrip located within the wetlands of the Big Cypress National Preserve, next to Everglades National Park. Its sole, roughly 11,000-foot runway has largely been used for training purposes, but officials say it will soon accommodate deportation flights.
