โ€˜Itโ€™s a one-stop shop, and this airport thatโ€™s been here for a long time is the perfect secure location. Itโ€™s going to make a big difference,โ€™ DeSantis said.

Deep in the Florida Everglades, the latest illegal immigration detention and deportation facility opened for business on July 1, eight days after state officials said work began.

A cluster of temporary structures large enough to hold up to 3,000 illegal immigrants and 1,000 staff members now stands next to a runway 10,499 feet long and 150 feet wide. The facility was paid for largely by the Department of Homeland Security.

โ€œThink about what you have here,โ€ Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a roundtable at the facilityโ€™s opening on July 1. โ€They come here, say they have already been ordered to be deported. You drive them 2,000 feet to the runway, and theyโ€™re gone.

โ€œItโ€™s a one-stop shop, and this airport thatโ€™s been here for a long time is the perfect secure location. Itโ€™s going to make a big difference.โ€

Management, celebrated the opening as yet another example of Floridaโ€™s โ€œlogistical expertiseโ€ to rapidly respond to an emergency, adapting what they learned from rebuilding infrastructure after hurricanes to this project.

DeSantis declared a state of emergency regarding illegal immigration earlier this year, granting Guthrie emergency powers to take over the airfield from Miami-Dade County and kickstart the construction.

โ€œThere are over 13 different vendors that came together to get this solved in eight days, truly a whole of private sector partnership to get that done,โ€ Guthrie said during the roundtable. โ€Behind you on these boards, in only eight days, we have built a fully compliant detention facility with a detainee capacity of up to 3,000 people, with room for additional capacity, if you asked us to do so, the detention includes over 158,000 square feet of housing, and itโ€™s a fully aluminum frame structure rated for winds of 110 miles an hour, or a high-end Category 2.โ€

The facility is also equipped with a staff village, redundant power systems, air conditioning, the capacity to serve three hot meals a day, a 24/7 medical facility, pharmacy, laundry, legal and clergy support, and indoor and outdoor recreation yards.
