US EditionTrump praises onetime rival DeSantis: ‘You’ll always be my friend’
- On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump joined Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at the inauguration of Alligator Alcatraz, a recently established facility for migrant detention located in the Florida Everglades.
- Their joint appearance followed a contentious 2024 Republican primary where DeSantis ran against Trump but ended his bid in January 2024 and then endorsed him.
- During the tour, Trump rated their relationship a '10,' thanked DeSantis personally, and DeSantis described their immigration crackdown as a 'force multiplier' working closely with the federal government.
- The detention facility is scheduled to open soon, operating at approximately half of its 5,000-bed capacity, with an anticipated annual expense of $450 million. Additionally, Trump has endorsed Rep. Byron Donalds as the likely successor to DeSantis in the upcoming gubernatorial race.
- Their public display signaled a thaw in their previous rivalry, suggesting continuing political cooperation on immigration policies and Florida's gubernatorial succession.
