Florida GOP removes new immigration merch after Home Depot objects [View all]

The Republican Party of Florida on Saturday removed a line of deportation-themed shirts, hats and other tchotchkes for sale on its website that mimicked The Home Depot’s logo.

The party’s line of “The Deport Depot” merch was themed on the new immigrant detention center Gov. Ron DeSantis unveiled this week that he called “Deportation Depot.”

But the items bore a logo with the same recognizable orange box and stenciled font as the one belonging to The Home Depot.

Home Depot spokesperson Beth Marlowe said late Friday that the company had not approved the party to use its branding or logo.
