Florida’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ faces shutdown before Halloween - here’s the wild backup plan
Alligator Alcatraz, Florida's migrant detention center, may close soon. A court ruling halted expansion due to environmental concerns raised by tribal groups. The facility faced criticism for overcrowding and unsanitary conditions.
The days at “Alligator Alcatraz” may be numbered after a federal judge ordered the state to begin winding down operations at the detention center within two months.
The findings raise questions about the DeSantis administration’s vetting of the companies that received Alligator Alcatraz contracts.
