An immigration detention facility located at an isolated Everglades airfield is just days away from being operational, according to Florida officials.

DeSantis said he's considering standing up a facility at a Florida National Guard training center known as Camp Blanding, southwest of Jacksonville.

The Trump administration and Florida leaders are moving forward with a plan to build a detention facility on a remote site in the Everglades to hold undocumented migrants awaiting deportation, with the facility expected to cost $450 million a year.
