Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham his state is ready to deport illegal aliens on flights to El Salvador.

The Republican governor said he’s awaiting approval from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

“We’re ready to do more. We want DHS to approve some of our plans,” DeSantis said.

“I can set up, at a moment’s notice within 72 hours, 10,000 beds for illegals so they can be processed and deported. We can run flights to El Salvador wherever they need to,” he continued.

“If they give us the approval on that, you’ll see those numbers go up even more,” he added.

The Governor, of course, facilitated migrant flights from Texas to California and Martha’s Vineyard as well in the run-up to his presidential campaign.

But while he had previously pitched Florida as a useful funnel to internment camps at Guantanamo Bay, this TV hit was his first suggestion that the Sunshine State could transport suspected illegal immigrants to the increasingly infamous Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (CECOT).

DeSantis also said he needed the “blessing” of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to do more with the undocumented immigrants in the state, saying the state has ample assets ready and willing to go to work.

“We will go in, we won’t even need DHS to necessarily be there. We will go in, we’ll find them. We have tens of thousands of illegals in Florida that are already on deportation orders. So you hear all this about due process. They’ve already been processed and have been ordered to be removed. We can go in and get those,” DeSantis said, seemingly dismissing the due process concerns that courts have spotlighted amid extrajudicial repatriation of people in the country illegally.

“What we can do is provide more manpower, more space, and then we can even process, but we need that to be blessed, and we need that to be in tandem,” he added.

Florida law enforcement agencies recently collaborated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in an operation that led to the arrest of nearly 800 illegal aliens in the Sunshine State.

“Operation Tidal Wave is an example of FL and DHS partnering to deliver big results on immigration enforcement and deportations,” DeSantis said.
