Gov. Ron DeSantis has said the location in the rugged and remote Everglades was meant as a deterrent against escape, much like the island prison in California that Republicans named it after. The detention center has an estimated annual cost of $450 million, according to a public database.

While a federal judge considers whether to shut down a detention facility that Donald Trump’s administration and Florida officials are calling “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Everglades, DeSantis announced Thursday the state is moving forward with “Deportation Depot.”
