Florida's 'Alligator Alcatraz' detention center shuts down, says official

Florida's notorious "Alligator Alcatraz," an immigration detention center that became a flashpoint in the debate over President Trump's aggressive deportation policies, has officially closed. The Everglades facility, which opened less than a year ago, was intended for emergency use but faced widespread criticism over the treatment and conditions of detainees. Governor Ron DeSantis confirmed its closure, noting it had fulfilled its purpose. This move highlights the shifting dynamics in immigration enforcement and raises questions about the future of such controversial detention centers in the U.S.
