Florida's DeSantis unveils new immigration detention center dubbed 'Deportation Depot' to expand deportations.

Immigration attorneys and advocates are raising concerns about what they say are inhumane conditions at the "Alligator Alcatraz" migrant detention center.

The facility in Appleton has a capacity of 1,600 people, which would make it one of the nation’s largest immigration detention facilities.

A federal judge heard arguments Monday but declined to make an immediate ruling about the legal conditions of detainees at “Alligator Alcatraz.”

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.”

Erected on an abandoned airstrip known as the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, the temporary tent city was thrown together in just eight days after Florida authorities presented the federal government with a “marketing pitch” inspired by President Donald Trump longing for the reopening of the original Alcatraz.

The government] is running roughshod over the most basic constitutional rights that people have when they are in government custody,” Eunice Cho, senior counsel with the ACLU’s National Prison Project,

With Alligator Alcatraz running in the Everglades, the governor will turn an underused state prison into a second facility for those awaiting deportation.

Forget GEO Group Stadium, protesters started a movement 12-years ago to make sure another name caught on where Florida Atlantic would play: "Owlcatraz."
