Florida GOP scraps ‘Deport Depot’ merch after Home Depot objects
The Republican Party of Florida was pushing a new line of merchandise Friday: baseball caps, T-shirts, mugs and insulating drink sleeves with “THE DEPORT DEPOT” in blocky stencil font diagonally across a bright orange square.
Two days later, after Home Depot expressed concern about the unapproved use of its branding, the items had been scrubbed from the Florida GOP’s digital storefront and posts on X about the new line had been deleted — but a post on Instagram featuring images of the merchandise remained. A half-hour after The Washington Post made inquiries, the Instagram post was gone as well.
“We don’t allow any organization to use our branding or logo for their commercial purposes, and we did not approve this use,” Beth Marlowe, a Home Depot spokeswoman, said in an email Sunday.
Florida GOP Chairman Evan Power did not respond to requests for comment.
The short-lived deportation-themed merchandise came after Thursday’s announcement by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) of plans to turn an underused state prison into a migrant detention center that can hold up to 1,300 detainees — a facility he referred to as “Deportation Depot.”
