At a press briefing on Wednesday, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) was asked about 'Alligator Alcatraz'.
Transcript
00:00Alcatraz, there's now an email that's been surfacing from Kevin Duffy that he sent to a rabbi in South Florida,
00:06which he says in a couple of days we're probably going to be down to zero individuals.
00:09Do you know about this email that Kevin Duffy sent?
00:11I think he was just referring to they're deporting him very quickly.
00:15And that's a good thing. That's what we want.
00:18We don't determine who goes into the facility.
00:21Now, obviously, there's litigation that's been going on that DHS is a party to,
00:26and so that may be an influence about where they're saying people.
00:30But we're ready to help. We want to continue to help.
00:33We have to continue with this mission. It's important.
00:37And ultimately, it's going to be good for the state of Florida.
00:39So, you know, what was, you know, the Alcatraz, this is just people, you know,
00:44trying to get spun up to be able to have something.
00:47I mean, you literally go, there'll be like, you know, 10 people with like signs and stuff.
00:51And I'm just like, you know, if it were me, like, I wouldn't, I would find better things to do.
00:56I really would.
00:57But like, that's what they need something to kind of do.
01:01But the reality is, is we're in this more than any other state leading,
01:06and we're going to continue to do it.
01:08And so ultimately, it's DHS's decision where they want to process and stage detainees,
01:14and it's their decision about when they want to bring them out.
01:17But I think they've been having rapid removals from Alligator Alcatraz,
01:21and I think that's caused the census to go down.
01:24But again, you know, that's not necessarily that we control in either direction.
01:29What's the state of America?
01:30What's the state of America?
