**Ron DeSantis Caught on Secret Call Plotting Gitmo Deportations—What Could Go Wrong?**

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, never one to shy away from bold, headline-grabbing immigration stunts, has apparently taken things up a notch—by floating the idea of shipping undocumented immigrants to **Guantanamo Bay** using Florida taxpayer dollars. Because when you think of efficient immigration policy, obviously the best solution is a **detention facility best known for holding suspected terrorists.**

A little birdie (or maybe a bald eagle with a mullet) dropped a *closed-to-the-public* recorded conversation in my inbox, where DeSantis outlines his grand plan:

**Step 1:** Use Florida state law enforcement to round up immigrants.

**Step 2:** Skip the whole “let’s follow federal immigration law” thing.

**Step 3:** Send them to Gitmo—yes, *that* Gitmo.

**Step 4:** Deputize local police so they can start deporting people themselves. Because why leave immigration enforcement to actual immigration officials?

> “For example, I think you're gonna end up being able to send illegals to Gitmo. I think they're gonna have a processing station there.”

A **processing station.** At Guantanamo Bay. That’s the plan. What could possibly go wrong?

### **From Martha’s Vineyard to Military Prison—The DeSantis Immigration Experience™**

Remember when DeSantis used state funds to fly migrants to Martha’s Vineyard in a political stunt so absurd it made national headlines? Well, apparently, that was just a **beta test.** Now, he’s looking to *upgrade* the program by shipping people to **offshore locations like the Bahamas, Haiti, or literally Gitmo.**

And don’t worry—if local law enforcement wasn’t busy enough already, DeSantis also has a plan to **deputize them to handle deportations** on their own. Who needs ICE when you have Florida sheriffs moonlighting as international border patrol?

And just in case that wasn’t enough, he’s also calling for **removing in-state tuition for DACA recipients** because, you know, *why stop at one controversial policy when you can roll out three at the same time?*

### **Slippery Slope Check: What’s Next?**

- **Florida Highway Patrol starts running immigration raids at Buc-ee’s.**

- **DeSantis announces new "Florida Airlift" program to fly migrants directly to the middle of the Atlantic.**

- **Miami-Dade lifeguards get emergency orders to paddle people to Cuba.**

- **Official Florida tourism slogan changed to: “The Sunshine State—Visit While You Still Can.”**

This call is *eight minutes* long, and I have a feeling it’s **just the beginning.** If this is where DeSantis is starting, imagine where he’s headed next.

Stay tuned—because this is about to be the **gift that keeps on giving
