Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi are heading to St. Francisville, Louisiana on Wednesday to tour and unveil the new holding location for illegal immigrants with criminal records.
Once dubbed the 'bloodiest prison in the South,' Angola prison is already holding 51 migrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The state penitentiary, nicknamed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) as the 'Louisiana Lockup,' will likely replace Florida's illegal immigration camp known as Alligator Alcatraz.
A judge last week struck down use of the camp in Florida as migrants await deportation. But Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday that it's still operating and deporting illegal immigrants.
He said DHS has stopped sending new detainees to the facility, but that Alligator Alcatraz is still 'ready, willing and able' to accept more.
