Everglades Detention Center Shut Down

Homeland Security has evacuated all detainees from Florida’s controversial “Alligator Alcatraz” facility amid hurricane season concerns, though details like headcount, destinations, and permanence remain hidden. Built by the governor and opened last July, the tent city has drawn fire from lawyers and rights groups over inhumane conditions, while some political figures defend it.
