Judge halts expansion of Florida's controversial Alligator Alcatraz detention center
TL;DR Summary
A federal judge in Miami has temporarily halted construction at the 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration detention center in Florida due to an environmental lawsuit filed by local tribes and conservation groups, while allowing ongoing operations to continue. The lawsuit cites environmental harm from construction activities, but officials argue the land has been developed for years and emphasize the facility's role in immigration enforcement.
