DeSantis dismisses court order to close 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration jail

A federal judge ordered the shutdown of the controversial Alligator Alcatraz immigrant detention center in Florida due to environmental damage and legal violations, with existing detainees to be moved within 60 days. The order highlights concerns over habitat loss and inhumane conditions, while Florida officials plan to appeal, and DeSantis dismisses the ruling with a dismissive comment about continuing deportations.
