DeSantis announced plans to convert a shuttered North Florida prison into an immigration detention center, replacing a costlier proposed site.

The city manager of Monrovia said someone fled the immigration activity at a Home Depot onto the 210 Freeway and was hit by a vehicle.

Administrators say they are watching student attendance closely, uncertain if fears will keep some students at home, which impacts budgets.

Gov. Ron DeSantis has said the location in the rugged and remote Everglades was meant as a deterrent against escape, much like the island prison in California that Republicans named it after. The detention center has an estimated annual cost of $450 million, according to a public database.

A Washington state mother and her 6-year-old son have been released after spending more than three weeks in US immigration detention due to a brief trip to Canada and a small paperwork mistake, her attorney told CNN on Saturday.

Bondi’s letter was not entirely unexpected. In April, Trump directed the Justice Department to publish a list of all jurisdictions with sanctuary laws. Oregon and the city of Portland, which has officially been a sanctuary city since 2017, both made the list. The list was made public earlier this month.

The move amounts to a sweeping reversal of "sanctuary" policies in the nation's capital, allowing the Metropolitan Police Department, for the time being, to fully cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.

During the Trump administration’s first 100 days, ICE reports arresting 66,463 undocumented immigrants and removing 65,682.
