Controversy Surrounds ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Migrant Detention Center in Florida Everglades
Protests have erupted over the newly approved ‘Alligator Alcatraz,’ a migrant detention center being constructed in the Florida Everglades. Environmental groups have filed multiple lawsuits in a bid to halt the project, citing concerns over its impact on the fragile ecosystem and historical significance of the area. The controversial facility, backed by Governor Ron DeSantis and the Trump administration, aims to detain migrants but has faced significant pushback from local citizens and activists who argue it poses an environmental threat and human rights concerns. With its opening imminent, protests continue to grow, bringing attention to the ongoing tensions between immigration policy and environmental protection.
