We stood up Alligator Alcatraz in just eight days as a centralized facility for deportation staging. The facility has a two-mile runway that allows federal military aircraft to transport illegal aliens out of the country, right on site. These deportation flights operated by DHS are underway, and we will support efforts to increase cadence of the flights so that the number of illegal aliens deported keeps increasing.
This is a mandate set upon us by the American people. Florida’s state and local agencies are serving as force multipliers for federal efforts to arrest and deport illegal aliens. We’re charging full speed ahead to deliver on immigration enforcement.
We are rescuing our fellow Floridians and Americans from the situation in Israel. Working with @greybullrescue, we have helped 1500+ leave Israel and are currently flying hundreds back to Florida. I was happy to be at Tampa International Airport this morning to welcome 160 evacuees home.
