Alligator Alcatraz Closing Forever

Florida’s controversial migrant detention center, dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” is shutting down for good—just weeks after its one-year anniversary and amid claims of hurricane safety as the reason for evacuation. Built during last year’s hurricane season and touted as wind-resistant, the $1.2 billion facility is now being fully dismantled as all detainees were relocated last week. Environmental attorneys question the official narrative, watching closely for signs the project’s end will restore the land to its original state. State officials expect full site clearance by Wednesday, while the Attorney General notes the facility was never intended to be permanent. The federal government has already reimbursed Florida for most costs, and with federal agencies ramping up their own operations, the center’s mission appears complete.
