Appeals Court Temporarily Allows Alligator Alcatraz Operations Amid Legal Dispute

An appellate court has paused a lower court's order to dismantle Florida's Alligator Alcatraz immigration facility, siding with state officials and President Trump, and rejecting environmental concerns raised by activists. The case revolves around whether the facility's construction violated the National Environmental Policy Act, with the court ruling that the law's scope was limited and did not require environmental review for this project. The environmental groups plan to continue their legal fight.
