Alligator Alcatraz Immigrant Detention Camp in Everglades May Be Emptied

The detention camp in the Everglades known as Alligator Alcatraz is being emptied, just two months after Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spent hundreds of millions of dollars to build it to help President Donald Trump’s plan to deport millions of migrants.

Videos posted on social media Wednesday showed buses leaving the camp under police escort headed east, toward Miami, and the Department of Homeland Security confirmed it’s moving people to other facilities. US District Court Judge Kathleen Williams last week ordered the camp dismantled within 60 days, finding that it was built without a proper environmental review.
