Alligator Alcatraz ordered to SHUT DOWN

A federal judge in Miami gave the state of Florida 60 days to clear out the immigrant detention facility called Alligator Alcatraz, handing environmentalists and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians a win after they clashed with Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) over the environmental impacts the makeshift site was having in the federally protected Everglades.
