🚨 JUST IN: Judge Kathleen Williams orders “Alligator Alcatraz” shut down within 60 days — and blocks Trump & Florida from admitting any new detainees.
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.
Williams’ order comes in a lawsuit filed by environmental groups and the Miccosukee Tribe arguing that the state and federal governments cut important corners when erecting the site in a matter of days. The Tribe and environmental groups had requested that the judge grant a preliminary injunction shutting down the site until and unless a proper environmental review is conducted, citing “irreparable” harm the facility could cause to the Everglades, according to The Miami Herald.
