Florida to Close 'Alligator Alcatraz' Immigration Detention Center
The Florida Department of Corrections announced on Wednesday that it will soon shut down its controversial immigration detention facility known as 'Alligator Alcatraz.' The decision comes after the state's governor, Ron DeSantis, stated that the center was intended to be temporary due to federal government resource constraints. DeSantis emphasized that the closure is a step towards addressing the lack of federal support for immigrant detention.
