Gov. Ron DeSantis said hundreds of immigration detainees had departed a state-run detention center in the Everglades on planes, some for federal facilities, and others out of the country.
Several immigrant detainees described high tension and anxiety at the remote, hastily constructed facility over a lack of information, recreation and access to medication.
Florida raced to open the Everglades detention center on July 3, eager to help President Trump’s immigration crackdown by providing more detention capacity.
