Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is scheduled to hold a press conference Thursday morning in Boca Raton.
The conference will take place at 10 a.m. at the Owl's Nest inside the Schmidt Family Complex for Academic and Athletic Excellence, located at 777 Glades Rd., on the Florida Atlantic University campus.
Thursday's press conference comes a day after DeSantis responded to growing concerns about operations at the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, a decades-old facility located along the Tamiami Trail at the edge of Big Cypress National Preserve.
The site is being prepared for temporary mass housing, with detention of migrants as the goal, a project that Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier dubbed earlier this week as " Alligator Alcatraz. "
"This thing's been used a bunch of times over many, many years, and so the impact will be zero and that's in keeping with our policy to do historic Everglades restoration," DeSantis said Wednesday.
