DeSantis to speak at "Alligator Alcatraz" amid reports facility is closing

Governor DeSantis is set to speak as Florida winds down operations at the immigration detention center known as Alligator Alcatraz. All detainees have been moved from the facility. While lawyers, families, and human rights groups criticized the center for mistreating detainees, a federal appeals court overturned a district court injunction that had required officials to dismantle Alligator Alcatraz. This legal action was originally triggered by a lawsuit filed by various environmental groups regarding the site.
