AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

DHS/Immigration Detention: Alligator Alcatraz is expected to close soon, with DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin saying there’s no near-term plan to shut it down permanently even as reports say the state’s operators were told it’s ending and the last detainees could leave by June—raising questions about costs, contracts, and disaster risk in the Everglades. Higher Ed/Workforce Anxiety: UCF commencement speaker Gloria Caulfield’s “AI is the next Industrial Revolution” pitch was met with loud boos, underscoring how graduates are bracing for AI-driven job change. Retail/Guns: Publix reversed course on open carry, now asking that only law enforcement openly carry firearms in its Florida stores. Courts/Consumer Health: A Florida judge cleared the way for a high-stakes NEC baby formula trial involving Mead Johnson, with billions at stake. Business/Defense Tech: Aevex won an $18.5M U.S. Air Force contract for one-way attack drones. Real Estate/Luxury Market: Southwest Florida’s ultra-luxury segment stays hot, including a $55M Naples waterfront sale.
