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 gonna be good for the state of Florida.

You're not allowed to issue a CDL to somebody who is not in this country legally. You're not allowed to issue a CDL to somebody who is not capable of understanding traffic signs.

We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.

We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.

This was preordained, very much an activist judge that is trying to do policy from the bench.

This is a judge that was not going to give us a fair shake.

We’re going to continue working on the deportations, advancing that mission.

We had an issue where you had an illegal alien truck driver that got a commercial driver’s license in the state of California, employed by a California company, killed three people in Florida.

This guy didn’t even speak English. We’re bringing him up on charges. He’s going to face a lot, and I can announce, Jesse, that I said initially, the company needs to be held accountable.

I did announce that we are going to be opening another facility right outside of Jacksonville, in Baker County, and we’ve called that the 'Deportation Depot.'

We will not allow our state roads to be commandeered for political purposes.

Great to see the PGA Tour returning to Miami next year for an event at the Blue Monster course at Trump Doral.

Illegal alien issued CDL by California. Doesn’t even speak English. Sanctuary policies are deadly.

That is the name of the game, and that’s what we do in Florida. We know that this is an important national priority, not only of President Trump, but of the American people.

It’s a priority for the people of this country. And I don’t want to see any more Angel Moms in Florida … because the laws weren’t being enforced.

So I’m here to announce today that we are authorizing and will be soon be opening this new illegal immigration detention processing and deportation facility here in North Florida. We are calling this the Deportation Depot.

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.

This is a priority for the people of our state; it's a priority for the people of this country.

Blanding does have air capacity, but probably not a big enough runway to handle large planes.

It is going to be located here at Baker Correctional Institution, and again, the process — the reason of this is not to just house people indefinitely. We want to process, stage, and then return illegal aliens to their home country.

I’m confident that it will be filled.

A lot less standing up than we would do at Blanding and far less than we had to do at Alligator Alcatraz.

Since the opening of Alligator Alcatraz, we have seen an increase in the number of illegal aliens who are taking the voluntary departure.

The demand is there, and our guys are ready, willing, and able to help our federal partners in this really, really important mission.

The federal government is ramping up removal flights from the South Florida facility.
