There was no evidence of competition between President Donald Trump and Governor Ron Desantis on Tuesday when they met in a joint case: The migrant detention center opened In the heart of the swamp of Florida.
Trump and his deputies visited the senior Evergalides, as Florida officials won a victory over his anti -immigration agenda and put the state at the forefront of a campaign campaign.
The facility, which is called Republican leaders, is called “Alcatraz”, 3000 detainees, and it took only eight days to build.
“It might be good like the real category,” Trump told reporters on Tuesday. “It’s a little controversial, but I couldn’t care less.”
The batch behind the “Alcatraz” is not only to keep Florida compatible with Trump on immigration, but also to re -put some of the largest republican players in the state politically. Desantis, for example, fought loudly with Trump during the 2024 presidential preliminary elections; During the visit on Tuesday, he and Trump praised each other.
“You are my friend, you will always be my friend, and we may have some skirmishes, even in the future. I doubt it, but I will always come back, because we have blood that seems to fit well,” Trump said.
“I think it is 10,” Trump added their relationship. “Maybe 9.9 … We are dealing with great.”
Desantis soon reminded, reminding that he had supported Trump as soon as he left the presidential race in early 2024.
“The thing about it, I supported it,” said Desantis. “One of Pacz has raised millions and millions of dollars.”
Trump and Desantis, along with the Minister of Internal Security, Christie Nom, toured the facility at a presentation of the opening of what is one of the largest migrant detention facilities in the country.
A number of media outlets in the tour were Trump’s friendly organizations, which asked questions that they praised or allowed to include his agenda.
One of the correspondents asked him to study “catastrophic dealing with the borders” by the administration of President Joe Biden, while another was commenting on how to lead the “beloved city of New York” soon.
“What is your message to the governor of Gavin News?” Benny Johnson asked the right -wing YouTube character.
Trump answered that “the first thing”, California ruler and a possible and probable democratic presidential candidate, must do “come here and learn something.”
It was difficult to ignore the political tones of the event. Among those who were invited to the audience, MP Bayron Donalds, a Republican in Florida, was nominated for the ruler in 2026. At the same time, the wife of Desantis, Casey Desantis, She is still thinking about the competing round of the ruler.
During a round table on Tuesday, Donalds said – sitting just two feet from Desantis – he “praised” his work to combat illegal immigration. The moment represents political opponents “put their hostility aside, at least for this day.
The Public Prosecutor of Florida James Othiar, a close ally of Desantis, surpassed the idea of the crocodile of Alkatraz last month, but he got a national trade force when Desantis made a live tour on Friday on “Fox and Friends”, which caught in the Trump administration outside the goalkeeper.
Two official sources said to the issue that Naweeem and the advisor of the senior advisers Korea Lewandowski supported the facility, but they wanted the opening to be on Tuesday is the official public treatment.
One of the Republican ports said to the operation: “Desantis Nayyem and Loiendowski disturbed his tour of Fox News at the location of detention,” said Disantis Nayyem and Loiendowski with his tour at Fox News at the location of detention. “Naweev wanted to happen on Tuesday and no one wanted eyes on the site and needed to pay until Tuesday because she was traveling.”
The Republican worker said that Nayyem’s employees asked Desantis not to take the Fox News.
The person added: “The National Security Ministry team asked Desantis not to do a Friday event.” “Desantis did what was better for Desantis and came out in the foreground … NOEM and Lewandowski were angry.”
Another source familiar with the matter said that the inconvenience did not stem directly from the White House, but from Lewandowski.
The person said: “S-lost.”
Lewandowski and Desantis did not respond to the requests for comment. The White House is called “Fake News”.
“Leave it to fake news NBC to write about an unfounded gossip after a very successful event with President Trump, Minister Naweeem and Hakim Desantis in the Alkatraz crocodile,” White House spokeswoman Abigel Jackson said in a statement. “This is the true story that the modern facility will play an important role in fulfilling the president’s promise to preserve safe Americans and deport illegal foreigners.”
She added: “The president is grateful to work with both Minister Nayyoud and Al -Hakim Desantis in this project.”
However, the event indicated that Desantis was publicly restoring his relationship with Trump, and to some extent it was It is seen as a blessing For his attempt to restore the national political foot again for a possible presidential campaign in 2028, even with Vice President JD Vance on a large scale as the current candidate.
“No one believed that Trump would closely embrace Desantis today.” “We did not think he would try to undermine or insult him, but Trump was above the summit in his praise today. I don’t know what this means, but it was a good day for Ron Desantis.”
The Evergels Desantis facility and Republican leaders in the state, including UTHMEEIER, gave, A boost for the efforts to collect donationsEven with Democrats criticizing the harsh effort of the accused that they are in the country illegally.
“The crocodile is a harsh political trick,” said David Jolie, a former Republican member of Congress who runs for the ruler as a democrat in 2026.
Since the announcement of the facility, There were also protests – Including Tuesday for the opening – and a lawsuit Provided by environmental groups Anxiety about the effect it can have on Evergalids.
This facility has become possible by using the emergency authorities that enacted it in 2023. The state built up to the city of Khaima, employed ten sellers and seized lands from Miami Dead province over the objections of local leaders. The attachment is located on a low -use air landing that includes a runway. Desantis said it can be used to quickly raise immigrants who are not documented to the third countries if the deportation is appropriate.
