Immigration Judge orders Alligator Alcatraz shut down in 60 days, says no more new detainees.

Williams said she expects the continued transfer of detainees out of Alligator Alcatraz to allow the eventual phasing out of equipment to be done “in a safe, humane, and responsible manner.”.

Williams wrote that the facilities at Alligator Alcatraz were likely to have consequences for the Tribe and the surrounding environment, including endangered species like the Florida Panther.

In her order, Williams, an Obama appointee, quoted President Harry Truman’s address at the 1947 dedication of the Everglades National Park.

This Order does nothing more than uphold the basic requirements of legislation designed to fulfill those promises,” Williams wrote.

Still, the state immediately filed a notice to appeal the decision with the United States Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

“Just this week, a judge in the same district as Judge Williams refused to hear a case because the Southern District of Florida was the improper venue for suits about Alligator Alcatraz,” spokesman Jeremy Redfern wrote on X. »
