The new immigration detention center at an isolated airstrip in the Florida Everglades that President Donald Trump visited was heralded by Republicans as a potential model for other states to aggressively ramp up detention and deportation efforts.

President Trump toured a new immigration detention center in South Florida that state officials are calling "Alligator Alcatraz."

Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters the state is planning to hold another 2,000 detainees at the Camp Blanding migrant detention facility.
