Judge halts further operations at Alligator Alcatraz detention center

TL;DR Summary
A Miami federal judge has temporarily allowed the 'Alligator Alcatraz' migrant detention center to remain open but has prohibited expansion, additional detainees, and certain infrastructure modifications due to environmental law violations, with the facility required to remove certain installations within 60 days. The ruling is a victory for environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe, who argue the site threatens the fragile Everglades ecosystem.
