3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

A federal judge on Aug. 21 ordered President Donald Trump and the state of Florida to stop sending detainees to “Alligator Alcatraz,” a detention center for illegal immigrants in the Everglades, and barred new construction there.

U.S. Judge Kathleen Williams, a lower court judge in the District Court for the Southern District of Florida, sided with environmental groups who had brought suit against the facility, saying that it endangers the Everglades and its wildlife.

Located 37 miles west of Miami, the detention center’s name comes from the vast swaths of surrounding wetlands that encircle the facility, which are home to alligators, crocodiles, and pythons.

The facility, which is being used to house illegal immigrants detained as part of the administration’s mass deportation operation, costs around $450 million annually and can house about 5,000 detainees.

Though the order doesn’t entirely shutter the facility, it drastically dismisses its capabilities.

In a court <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.692544/gov.uscourts.flsd.692544.131.0_1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">order</a>, Williams said that authorities cannot "[bring] any additional persons onto the site who were not already being detained at the site at the time of this Order going into effect."

Williams also ordered that some other aspects of the facility be dismantled as current detainees are moved elsewhere.

Specifically, authorities have been banned from "installing any additional industrial-style lighting ... or doing any paving, filling, excavating, or fencing, or ... any other site expansion," Williams wrote.

The ruling also ordered the removal of some equipment and supporting infrastructure at the remote facility.

The order said that authorities must remove "all generators, gas, sewage, and other waste and waste receptacles that were installed to support this project," within 60 days. Some fencing and additional lighting that had already been installed must also be removed.

It clarifies that alterations intended solely to repair existing facilities to increase quality of life or safety are still permitted.

The Miami-based judge sided with the plaintiffs’ in a suit claiming that the facility, situated in the Florida Everglades, endangers the ecosystem and its wildlife.

In June, two environmental groups filed a motion that asked the court to block further construction at the facility, saying it violated laws at the local, state, and federal level.

Williams wrote that the decision on Thursday was driven by a desire to align with Florida environmental law protecting the endangered Everglades.

For several years, "every Florida governor, every Florida senator, and countless local and national political figures, including presidents, have publicly pledged their unequivocal support for the restoration, conservation, and protection of the Everglades," Williams wrote.

"This order does nothing more than uphold the basic requirements of legislation designed to fulfill those promises," she continued.

Florida, which has been coordinating in constructing the facility with the Trump administration, immediately filed an appeal.
