Once hailed as a temporary deportation solution by Governor DeSantis, who credited it with removing nearly 21,000 people, the facility now stands as a ghost site. Its closure brings relief to advocates and environmentalists who criticized its harsh conditions and ecological damage, including lawsuits over violations and pollution. While legal battles continue over environmental harm, the future of the land is up for debate — from a nature preserve to tribal land. The FAA still lists the runway as closed until September, but the physical footprint of this politically charged operation is fading fast.
