The state plans to spend up to $6 million to stand up Baker Correctional Institution to hold more than 1,300 people awaiting deportation.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Thursday that the state will use a shuttered state prison in North Florida to open a second immigration detention center.

The state says it will run the new center from an empty prison that could hold 2,000 federal detainees. This one will be called “Deportation Depot.”
