A federal judge on Thursday evening ordered President Donald Trump and the state of Florida to stop bringing new detainees to “Alligator Alcatraz,” a detention center for illegal immigrants in the middle of the Florida Everglades.
U.S. Judge Kathleen Williams, a lower court judge in the District Court for the Southern District of Florida, sided with environmental groups who had brought suit against the facility, saying that it endangers the Everglades and its wildlife.
