<p>Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Thursday announced new facilities to support Alligator Alcatraz, called the Deportation Depot.</p>
<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re taking yet another step in supporting the important mission that President Trump was elected to implement of securing the border, enforcing immigration laws, and removing illegal aliens who are in our society now and sending them back to their home country,&#8221; DeSantis <a href="https://x.com/GovRonDeSantis/status/1955981567320580574" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at a press conference.</p>
<p>The new facility will be based in the Baker Correctional Institution in Baker County, a men&#8217;s state prison located 45 miles west of Jacksonville. The Deportation Depot is projected to be able to house between 1,300 and 2,000 individuals.</p>
<p>DeSantis claimed in the press conference that the Department of Homeland Security would be reimbursing the state for the cost of operating the facility.</p>
<p>The Florida governor touted the new facility&#8217;s infrastructure, saying that a large part of the prison was not in use &#8220;for any correctional purposes&#8221; and could be easily converted to house those facing deportation.</p>
<p>DeSantis also noted that a nearby airport would enable Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel to speedily deport illegal aliens from the Deportation Depot, although it was not as convenient as the runway directly on the property of Alligator Alcatraz in South Florida.</p>
<p>Alligator Alcatraz, which has been in operation since mid-June, has seen both controversy and success in its time in operation. Although it faces protests by environmental activists and anti-ICE demonstrators, the facility is deporting <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/hundreds-of-illegal-aliens-deported-in-first-flights-from-alligator-alcatraz" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hundreds of illegal aliens</a>, according to DeSantis.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a priority for the people of our state. It&#8217;s a priority for the people of this country and I don&#8217;t want to see any more Angel Moms,&#8221; DeSantis said, referring in particular to mothers whose children are killed by illegal aliens.</p>
<p>The Deportation Depot is the third facility of its kind, joining Alligator Alcatraz and the Speedway Slammer, which the Trump administration <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/alligator-alcatraz-has-some-new-competition-the-speedway-slammer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> will be operated in a partnership with the state of Indiana.</p>
<p>DeSantis&#8217;s announcement comes as the Trump administration continues to rack up wins against sanctuary cities and human traffickers.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, two immigrants from Mexico were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/couple-convicted-for-harboring-illegal-aliens-at-texas-bakery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">convicted</a> by a Texas jury of harboring illegal aliens at their bakery near the southern border, which a federal investigator said &#8220;not only [violated] federal immigration laws but also [exploits] vulnerable individuals for profit.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Trump administration also filed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-admin-guns-for-nyc-in-lawsuit-over-sanctuary-city-status" target="_blank" rel="noopener">lawsuits</a> over the past few months against New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago in an effort to legally force the cities to collaborate with federal officials to apprehend, detain, and deport illegal aliens. A federal court has since dropped the Department of Justice’s case against Chicago due to a lack of standing on the federal government’s part.</p>
<p>President Trump&#8217;s legal action is still having some effect. Some cities, such as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-effect-d-c-police-break-from-sanctuary-city-policies-will-cooperate-with-ice" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington, D.C</a>., and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/blue-city-abandons-sanctuary-city-policy-after-warning-from-trump-administration?author=Spencer+Lindquist&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Blue+City+Abandons+%E2%80%98Sanctuary+City%E2%80%99+Policy+After+Warning+From+Trump+Administration" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Louisville</a>, Kentucky, have abandoned &#8211; or are taking steps to move away from &#8211; city policies that favor illegal immigrants over federal law enforcement personnel.</p>
