While the funds have been approved, they haven’t yet been released since the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s process requires that it review expenses for which reimbursement requests are made, Stephanie Hartman, director of communications for the Florida Division of Emergency Management, said in an email to The Associated Press.
The reimbursement process potentially exposes the state of Florida to being forced to unwind operations at the remote facility for a second time because of a federal judge’s injunction in August. The Miami judge agreed with environmental groups who had sued that the site wasn’t given a proper environmental review before it was converted into an immigration detention center and gave Florida two months to wind down operations.
The judge’s injunction, however, was put on hold for the time being by an appellate court panel in Atlanta that said the state-run facility didn’t need to undergo a federally required environmental impact study because Florida had yet to receive federal money for the project.
1200 people disappeared at that camp, without charges or due process, they were absucted off the street and sent to a swamp to die.

whatever happened to congress controlling the purse strings
Trump happened

Cool so all Americans get to pay for this concentration camp
Yes. I really hope when this house of cards comes crashing down we can put this entire administration in a similar structure
Don’t worry, the profits go to the president and his partners. CoreCivic and the GEO Group are making a killing like never before - it’s the American dream!
Nazi America needs concentration camps for their illegal detentions.
Yet another bailout. These Nazis are so damn free with our money.
