Advocates demand inquiry into Florida’s recently closed Alligator Alcatraz detention center

Environmentalists and immigrant-rights advocates demand an independent investigation into the environmental damage caused by Florida’s recently closed Alligator Alcatraz migrant detention center. The demand was made by groups including Friends of the Everglades and the Miccosukee Tribe, with the facility’s 12-month operation criticized as a waste of taxpayer dollars and an abuse of the Everglades.
