The Trump Administration turned the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport in the Florida Everglades (Ochopee, Florida) into a migrant detention facility in July 2025. It's planned for 5,000 beds but it looks like it can be expanded if needed.
Maxwell A. Frost is the U.S. representative for Florida's 10th congressional district. He visited the facility on July 13, 2025. Below is the audio of his press conference after his visit that was conducted while he was in a car driving back to Miami. A portion of the start of the press conference is missing.
