Florida’s Governor insists the state’s deportation mission continues apace, even as an email from Florida’s Director of Emergency Management (DEM) says Alligator Alcatraz will soon have zero inmates.

“They’re deporting them very quickly. And that’s a good thing. That’s what we want,” Gov. Ron DeSantis said while speaking in Orlando .

“We don’t determine who goes into the facility. Obviously, there’s litigation that’s been going on, that DHS (the Department of Homeland Security) is a party to, and so that may be an influence about where they’re sending people. But we’re ready to help, we want to continue to help. We have to continue with this mission. It’s important, and ultimately, it’s going to be good for the state of Florida.”
