Gov. Ron DeSantis is now backing plans to shutter Florida’s state-run immigration detention facility in the Everglades, 10 months after the state opened it and after spending hundreds of millions of dollars on its construction and operation.
He told reporters in Lakeland Thursday that “it would be great for us to break that facility down,” following a New York Times report that the Department of Homeland Security and state officials were considering closing Alligator Alcatraz.
DeSantis said discussions with the federal government about shutting down the facility started after Markwayne Mullin was confirmed as the new DHS secretary in late March.

As long as Trump wants it there, it will be there, regardless of what DeSantis wants. Period!
