Florida to open ‘Deportation Depot' at shuttered prison weeks after launching ‘Alligator Alcatraz' facility
From "Alligator Alcatraz" to a new "Deportation Depot," Florida says it is leading the way in enforcing federal immigration laws. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis announced Thursday that the state will open a new immigration detention center dubbed "Deportation Depot" at a shuttered former prison in Sanderson, north Florida, expanding the state's capacity to hold and deport migrants. The new facility will be located at Baker Correctional Institution, about 43 miles west of Jacksonville and will initially hold 1,300 beds and can be expandable to 2,000. DeSantis said the facility, which has been dormant since 2021, will build on the success of Alligator Alcatraz in the Everglades and is expected to be operational in two to three weeks with staffing by the Florida National Guard and state contractors. "There's a massive part here at Baker Correctional that's vacant and isn't being used for any state correction activity," DeSantis said at a press briefing. "Talk about ready-made infrastructure, this is something that's very appealing from that perspective." DeSantis touted the relative ease and economy of setting up the northern Florida facility at a preexisting prison, estimating the build-out cost to be $6 million. That's compared to the hundreds of millions of dollars the state has committed to constructing the vast network of tents and trailers at the south facility in the rugged and remote Florida swamp. "This part of the facility is not being used right now for the state prisoners. It just gives us an ability to go in, stand it up quickly, stand it up cheaply," DeSantis said of the state prison, calling the site "ready-made." The new facility is being built as part of the Trump administration's effort to deport the millions who flooded the country under the Biden administration. DeSantis said that there are an estimated 50,000 to 100,000 illegal immigrants in Florida who already have final orders of removal but have not yet been deported. He touted state and local law enforcement agencies' participation in ICE operations with the latest move expanding Florida's 287(g) program, where state officers collaborate with ICE. DeSantis praised the Trump administration's "sea change" in policy for enabling Florida Highway Patrol to legally enforce immigration laws during traffic stops. "We have done more on this than any other state by a country mile," he said. We'll enforce the law, we'll hold the line, and we will keep delivering results. DeSantis had previously floated plans to open a second detention facility at a nearby Florida National Guard training facility known as Camp Blanding, about 30 miles southwest of Jacksonville. The long-standing military installation was a major U.S. Army training facility during World War II and serves as a "continuity of government" site for Florida's executive branch, according to the facility's website. But announcing the plans Thursday, DeSantis said the Baker facility was a better fit because of its available capacity and proximity to a regional airport. "Blanding does have air capacity, but probably not a big enough runway to handle large planes," DeSantis said. DeSantis said detainees at the new Baker facility will get the same services as those at the Everglades site and will be air-conditioned, which is not required under Florida prison standards. Attorneys for detainees at Florida's Alligator Alcatraz allege unsafe and inhumane conditions, including COVID-19 exposure without isolation, flooding, and pressure to sign removal orders before meeting lawyers. Last week, a Miami federal judge ordered a temporary halt to construction at the "Alligator Alcatraz" detention facility. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams said the facility, which is built in the middle of the Florida Everglades, can continue to hold migrant detainees, but cannot add any new infrastructure capacity. The ruling stops new construction, including filling, paving, installation of new infrastructure, and installation of new lighting, for a 14-day period while the parties involved in a lawsuit over the facility complete their hearing on a motion for a preliminary injunction.

Michigan autoworker's lost wallet found under car hood in Minnesota over a decade later
A retired Michigan autoworker's lost wallet was discovered under the hood of a car in Minnesota on it over a decade after it vanished while he was working at a Ford assembly plant. Richard Guilford's tri-fold leather wallet — filled with a driver's license, work ID, gift cards worth $275, cash, and lottery tickets — turned up under the hood of a car being repaired at a shop in Lake Crystal, Minnesota. The wallet was discovered in June by mechanic Chad Volk, sandwiched between the transmission and the air filter box of a 2015 Ford Edge with 151,000 miles on it. Advertisement 3 A retired Michigan autoworker's lost wallet was discovered under the hood of a Minnesota car with over 150,000 miles on it over a decade after it vanished while he was working a vehicle assembly job. AP 'Did you lose your wallet years ago? If so, it was in the engine bay of a car,' Volk wrote to Guilford on Facebook. Volk messaged a photo of the wallet and included the driver's license, where Guilford saw a younger headshot of himself. Advertisement 'Crazy,' Volk said of his wallet turning up. Guilford was working on the same car in 2014 at a Ford factory in Wayne on an assembly line of new vehicles waiting to be shipped out to dealerships, when he realized his wallet had vanished. Unsure where it had disappeared — the autoworker searched dozens of cars before giving up on finding that wallet, which was a gift from his sons. 3 The wallet was discovered in June by mechanic Chad Volk, sandwiched between the transmission and the air filter box of a 2015 Ford Edge. AP Advertisement 'I can't take too much time to look for this because I gotta work. I'm on the clock,' he recalled feeling. 'No luck. Life went on.' Guilford, now 56 and living in Petersburg, Michigan, retired from Ford in 2024 after nearly 35 years. 'The amazing part to me was it was so protected,' Guilford said. 'Think about this: 11 years, rain, snow. It was in Minnesota, for crying out loud. It was in Arizona when it was bought. Think about how hot a transmission gets in Arizona driving down the road. That's incredible.' Advertisement 3 Some of the gift cards in the wallet were remarkably still valid. AP Some of the gift cards in the wallet were remarkably still valid. Cabela's, an outdoor retailer, said the $250 gift card Guilford had in his wallet is still valid. The company has since offered him more to bless his luck. 'I'm going to put everything back in it and leave it just like it is, and it's gonna sit at the house in the china cabinet, and that's for my kids,' said Guilford. 'They can tell my great-grandkids about it. We're big into stories. I like tellin' stories. That's just who I am.' With Post wires
