FEMA Providing $600 Million For States To Detain Illegal Migrants

by

FEMA, a division of the Department of Homeland Security, is expected to fund the construction of the new Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention facility in Florida. Governor Ron DeSantis stated on July 25 that his office plans to seek FEMA reimbursement for the project.

The facility, located in the Everglades, has the capacity to detain up to 3,000 illegal immigrants. Governor DeSantis announced that the first deportation flights, each carrying 100 illegal immigrants, departed from the facility to various countries earlier this week.

“Hundreds of illegals have been removed from here,” DeSantis announced outside the facility. “This airport is able to accept commercial-sized aircraft, and both conduct day and nighttime operations. That’s what it’s all about. To be able to process and remove folks that are illegally in the state of Florida and the United States of America.”
