"Let's be clear about what's going on across the nation," Frost said. "They're shopping around warehouses. This is one of many they're looking at opening."

On Friday, Hope CommUnity Center said in a statement it confirmed about 300 people had been booked into the Orange County Jail on immigration holds in the previous 48 hours.

A spokesperson for the jail told the Sentinel that a total of 831 people had been booked on such holds since Jan. 1. County Commissioner Nicole Wilson said that number was a shocking total because about 300 people had been booked in December."

Rent for a minimum of 2 months and gas chambers are added at no additional cost.
