Federal judge blocks expansion of Everglades "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center
A federal judge has issued a sweeping ruling that effectively halts the expansion of the controversial immigration detention center known as “Alligator Alcatraz” in the Florida Everglades. The decision blocks the transfer of any new detainees to the site and orders the removal of temporary fencing, lighting, generators, and waste containers within 60 days.
