'Alligator Alcatraz' immigration centre can stay open, appeals court rules
The U.S. Court of Appeals has ruled that the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center in Florida can remain open. The center, located in the Everglades, has been the subject of controversy due to its remote location and harsh conditions. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has welcomed the court's decision, stating that the Everglades site is "open for business." The detention center, which has been operated by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has faced criticism from human rights groups for its isolation and lack of access to legal and medical services. The appeals court's ruling overturns a previous decision that had ordered the center to be shut down. The decision is a victory for the DeSantis administration, which has taken a hardline stance on immigration issues. However, it is likely to be met with continued criticism from advocates for immigrant rights.
