Florida: ‘Deportation Depot’ Begins Operation, First 100 Illegal Alien Detainees Arrive
by Hannah Knudsen 5 Sep 2025
The first detainees arrived to Florida’s second immigration detention facility, the Deportation Depot, on Tuesday, with reports indicating that 117 individuals now reside there.
The DeSantis administration shared photos of the second immigration detention facility — located at the Baker Correctional Institution — with Fox News. This location differs from Alligator Alcatraz as it actually is comprised of an unused portion of the Baker campus, which already had so much of the infrastructure they were looking for, saving millions of dollars — a prime reason Florida officials went with this location rather than Camp Blanding.
According to reports, the first detainees arrived on Tuesday, and it currently houses 117 detainees with a maximum capacity of 1,500.
