A federal judge on Thursday barred the DeSantis and Trump administrations from bringing new detainees to Alligator Alcatraz and demanded the state scale down operations at the immigration detention facility within 60 days. U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams, in her 82-page ruling, prohibited the state and federal governments from sending more immigrants to the detention center, built on an airstrip on the edge of the Big Cypress National Preserve. She also told the state to remove all generators, gas, sewage, lighting, fencing and other waste items over the next nine weeks that helped transform the airstrip into a detention center, eventually rendering the site uninhabitable. |
