Five Florida state lawmakers who were denied access to a new immigration detention center in the Everglades are suing Gov. Ron DeSantis.

A federal judge may pause operations at Alligator Alcatraz as protests grow and nonprofits sue over conditions and impact.

The office of Gov. Ron DeSantis is firing back after the lawsuit was filed in the Florida Supreme Court, accusing his administration of unlawfully blocking their oversight of the state’s new 'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration detention center in the Everglades.

Amid allegations of deplorable conditions in Alligator Alcatraz, mayor of Miami-Dade County asks the feds and state government for access to the site.

Concerns about conditions for detainees were heightened when one was rushed out of the detention center Monday in an ambulance.

More questions arise over how Florida’s newest immigration detention center is being funded by the Trump administration.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has previously said there would be no impacts to vegetation and there would be no paving or permanent construction at the Everglades site.
