HOME DEPOT OBJECTS AS FLORIDA GOP PUSHES ‘DEPORT DEPOT’ MERCH TIED TO NEW IMMIGRATION DETENTION DRIVE

The Florida GOP launched a “The Deport Depot” merch line mirroring The Home Depot’s branding just after Gov. Ron DeSantis promoted a new state-run “Deportation Depot” detention site. Home Depot says it never authorized the likeness and has contacted the party to resolve it. Party chair Evan Power argues the design is protected parody and the items remain for sale as political contributions. The episode underscores Florida’s broader, accelerating push to expand state immigration detention while converting enforcement into political messaging and fundraising.
