Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Friday announced deportation flights had begun to take off from the so-called Alligator Alcatraz immigration detention facility in the Everglades.

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it would allocate over $600M in grants to states willing to build migrant detention centers modeled after 'Alligator Alcatraz.'

A Central Florida man — legally in the United States, according to his attorneys — has been released from the state’s Alligator Alcatraz detention center, but remains in federal custody, one of those attorneys said Friday.

What they’re trying to do, at the end of the day, is pretend like this facility is not governed by federal law,”  said one attorney.

Governor Ron DeSantis made the announcement Friday morning that at least 100 detainees have been flown out of the country from the Everglades-based facility since it opened at the start of the month.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Friday that the Department of Homeland Security has started flying migrants out of the “Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility.

Archbishops say Florida is infringing on freedom for religious expression for those detained at Alligator Alcatraz.
