Republican merch line scrapped after DIY giant complains
The Republican Party of Florida has pulled a line of "Deport Depot" merchandise from its online store after Home Depot objected to the unauthorized use of its brand. The merchandise, which included hats, T-shirts, and mugs, mimicked Home Depot's logo and was launched following Governor Ron DeSantis 's announcement of a new immigrant detention centre. Home Depot said it does not allow any organization to use its logo for commercial purposes. This incident follows a previous merchandise line from the Florida GOP, "Alligator Alcatraz," which also sought to fundraise from the state's immigration policies. DeSantis announced plans to convert a disused state prison into the "Deportation Depot," an immigration detention center, after a federal court order halted new construction at the "Alligator Alcatraz" site due to environmental concerns.
