In the interest of carrying out more of President Donald Trump’s promised mass deportations, officials in Florida this week started construction on a migrant detention facility they’re billing as “efficient” and “low-cost” – because mother nature will provide much of the security.

The Department of Homeland Security has confirmed it is building a detention centre to temporarily hold migrants in the Florida Everglades.

Immigrant advocates said the move creates a whole new form of detention outside the scope of the federal government.
