President Donald Trump endorses Florida's plan for expedited deportations, allowing National Guard members to act as immigration judges at a new detention center. Local officials, including Gov. Ron DeSantis, advocate for this strategy to cut through bureaucratic delays. The center's location on a former airstrip aims to facilitate rapid deportation flights. Attorney General James Uthmeier describes the facility as a streamlined immigration enforcement hub, while the proposed plan outlines training for National Guard officers to become immigration judges in six weeks.
Trump expressed strong support for Florida's initiative, stating, 'He didn't even have to ask me. He has my approval,' during a roundtable discussion at the Alligator Alcatraz detention center.
DeSantis emphasized that deploying National Guard members as immigration judges could help eliminate bureaucratic delays, aiming to expedite deportation processes.
Attorney General James Uthmeier characterized the detention center as a 'one stop shop for immigration enforcement,' highlighting the efficiency of expedited processing.
Florida's proposed immigration plan includes training for nine Judge Advocate General officers, suggesting a quick six-week process to qualify them as immigration officers.
