Florida governor shutters ‘Alligator Alcatraz’

Florida's governor has closed the notorious "Alligator Alcatraz," a migrant detention center in the Everglades that drew criticism for its harsh conditions and environmental impact. Operating for just a year, it housed 21,000 migrants and is now the center of ongoing lawsuits over allegations of civil rights violations and ecological damage. This decision reflects growing concerns about the treatment of migrants and the environmental footprint of such facilities, highlighting broader debates on immigration policy and humanitarian treatment.
