Alligator Alcatraz Detention Center Resumes Operations After Appeals Court Halt
Operations at the 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration detention center have resumed after a federal appeals court halted a lower court judge's order to end operations indefinitely in the Florida Everglades.
A federal appeals court has halted a lower court judge's order to end operations indefinitely at the 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration detention center in the Florida Everglades, allowing operations to resume after they were initially shut down due to the ruling. The court's decision came after an appeals panel reviewed the case and found that the judge's order was too broad and did not adequately consider the facility's operational needs. As a result, the 'Alligator Alcatraz' center can now continue to provide detention services to migrants. The ruling marks a partial victory for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and its contractors.
