Trump administration offers $608M for state migrant detention sites

The Trump administration offers $ 608 million to countries that want to expand migrant detention efforts.

The funds, which have been announced through the new emergency detention program (FEMA), aims to help countries build or enlarge temporary detention facilities such as the Evergels Complex in Florida known as “Alcatraz”, according to FEMA documents.

“[Department of Homeland Security] A spokesman for the Ministry of National Security told Fox News Digital on Friday that Secretary Christie sleep was very clear that the Alcatraz crocodile could be a plan for other states and local governments to help detention.

Funding is part of the Fema shelter and services program and is open to applications until August 8, according to the Fema announcement.

The program aims to build a rapid construction of temporary temporary detention sites on government or local lands, which leads to avoiding long purchases delays.

Federal Contractors criticized him as costly and slow, and encouraged conservatives to play a more direct role.

“They were ready to build it and do this faster than some other sellers,” Nayyim said of Florida. “It was a real solution, we will be able to benefit if we needed it.”

The Florida facility was built in just eight days on the remote Everglades land at Dade-Collier Airport. It carries up to 3000 immigrants and is surrounded by fencing, swamps and natural barriers.

During a visit on July 1, President Donald Trump praised it “very professional and good”, describing it as “a model we would like to see in many states.”

“We are surrounded by miles from the treachery of the treacherous Swampland, and the only way to go out is to really deport,” he added.

Florida officials confirmed that they are seeking to pay a FEMA to help cover the estimated annual operating cost of $ 450 million. State officials say the site is qualified for federal financing under the new grant guidelines.

According to Noem, five states are currently holding DHS on building similar detention facilities.

She said during a recent press conference: “We had many other countries that already use the Alcatraz crocodile as a model for how to partner with us,” she said during a recent press conference.

“I hope my phone will be rhetoric from the hook from calling to the conservatives and say:” How can we do what Florida just did? “

The new financing aims at the time to enforce immigration and customs (ICE) to double the ability of detention.

Ice has reported that more than 56,000 migrants are at detention from June, which is the highest since 2019, and targets 100,000 beds by the end of the year, according to DHS planning materials.

Money will be distributed by Fema in partnership with customs and border protection, according to the deployment of DHS.
