Nearly two months after the hasty and controversial birth of “Alligator Alcatraz,” a federal judge has slammed the brakes on the operation, ruling that no more detainees can be housed at the remote migrant detention camp deep in the marshy wetlands of the Everglades.

A federal judge in Miami has ordered Florida to shut down and dismantle its controversial immigrant detention site known as “Alligator Alcatraz.” The ruling gives the state 60 days to remove all facilities and restore the area.

But the state’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has a backup plan, and Donald Trump’s administration claims that a federal judge’s order to temporarily shut down parts of the facility — which could become permanent — will not halt the president’s aggressive anti-immigration agenda.

Border czar Tom Homan said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation operations would continue after Florida’s “Alligator Alcatraz” immigration detention facility was ordered to be shut down within 60 days.

"The lack of authority to operate the facility has resulted in unprecedented challenges that people in immigration detention typically do not face," the lawsuit said.
