No new detainees can be brought to ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ for now, federal judge rules

 

A federal judge has ordered the remote detention camp in the Florida Everglades known as “Alligator Alcatraz” to no longer take additional detainees and remove additional infrastructure added to the site.

 

The judge issued the preliminary injunction after a federal lawsuit was filed by environmental groups and a Native American tribe who are concerned with the impact the facility will have on the environmentally sensitive area.

The order mandates no additional detainees beyond those currently housed at the facility be moved there.

 

Judge Kathleen Williams also says lighting, fencing and “all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this project” added to Collier Dade Training and Transition Airport must be removed within 60 days of the order.
