Trump praises onetime rival DeSantis: ‘You’ll always be my friend’
- This week, President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis jointly attended the debut of a recently established immigrant holding facility located in the Florida Everglades, known as "Alligator Alcatraz."
- Their improved relationship follows DeSantis' January 2024 endorsement of Trump after a tense 2023 Republican primary contest and DeSantis dropping out of the presidential race.
- DeSantis used emergency powers to quickly build the facility and signed tough immigration laws earlier this year, describing the efforts as a 'force multiplier' that meets Trump's border mandate.
- Trump rated their relationship a perfect 10 and expressed his gratitude to DeSantis, emphasizing that he considers him a true friend for life, while also noting that they might have occasional disagreements moving forward.
- The collaboration signals a united front on immigration enforcement in Florida, with the detention center slated to open at half-capacity and costing an estimated $450 million annually.
