00:00I just want to say, you know, there's stuff about, oh, you know, they're going after alligator Alcatraz, you know, the deportations are continuing.
00:10DHS is taking people out of there and they're moving them out.
00:16Our role is to have provide to provide more space for processing detention leading into the deportation.
00:25And DHS determines who goes into those facilities and who goes out of those facilities based on theirs.
00:31We, although we'd be willing to do it, but we are not the ones actually removing them from those facilities and sending them back to their home country.
00:39That's being done by DHS. And sometimes there's a pit stop along the way.
00:44We have a sheriff Grady Judd from Polk County was at our most recent immigration board hearing said, you know, we have way more illegal aliens that were
00:55apprehending than DHS is able to house, process, and deport in an orderly fashion.
01:01That's why we did alligator Alcatraz. That's why we're doing the deportation depot up in northeast Florida in Baker County right next to Jacksonville.
01:10And that is going to be, so we have thousands that can go to alligator Alcatraz, another 1,300 in Baker County for the deportation depot.
01:21So, and then we're even working on, I'm working on more. So, but the reality is there's a demand, there's a need for many, many more thousands here.
01:32And so we've worked to meet that need. Ultimately, you know, DHS expands their own footprint and capacity, then maybe that need will go down.
01:41But as of right now, that need is very strong. And so I do think that they have increased the pace of the removals from there, which is on their time schedule.
01:50And then who they send in or don't send in is on, is on their decision. That's, that's, we're there to, to provide, be a force multiplier on all that.
02:00And we, we will continue to do it. I think it's an important mission.
