Alligator Alcatraz Must Wind Down Operations, US Judge Rules
The sprawling immigrant detention camp known as Alligator Alcatraz must be wound down and dismantled, a federal judge said, dealing a setback to Florida’s push to help President Donald Trump’s campaign to deport millions.
US District Court Judge Kathleen Williams in Miami on Thursday barred immigration authorities from bringing more detainees to the makeshift facility in the Florida Everglades, finding that it was built without a proper environmental review.
