“You’re my friend and you’ll always be my friend,” Trump said to DeSantis as he kicked off a roundtable after taking a tour of the detention facility. “We may even have some skirmishes in the future, I doubt it. But we’ll always come back because we have blood that seems to match pretty well.”

President Donald Trump on July 1 visited the 5,000-bed immigration detention center being built on 39 square miles in Miami-Dade County.

There was no evidence of the onetime rivalry between Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis as they came together for the opening of the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigrant detention center.
