All detainees have been transferred from the immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades known as 'Alligator Alcatraz', according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The facility, located at a training airport, first received detainees in July as part of the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts. Lawyers, families, and human rights groups have consistently criticized the treatment of detainees since the center opened 11 months ago. Environmental groups have pledged to pursue legal action to ensure the facility's permanent closure and the restoration of the Everglades wetlands.
The Department of Homeland Security stated that reports suggesting it is pressuring the state to cease operations at the facility are false. One report claimed the U.S. is set to shut down the facility, while another source said the center is expected to close soon. The closure plan is not final and may change.
