A Florida Everglades immigration facility, criticized for conditions and legality, remains open despite a judge's closure order and ongoing legal challenges.
A new immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades, dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz," opened in July 2025 and is operated by Florida state agencies and private contractors.
Detainees are issued color-coded uniforms and wristbands based on risk level and face strict rules, including mandatory 5:30 a.m. breakfasts and bans on removing shirts in housing areas.
The facility, built without a full environmental review, drew legal challenges over its legality, with a federal judge ordering its closure in August, though an appeals court paused the order.
Civil rights groups allege poor conditions, uncharged detentions, and missing detainees, while the state claims detainees have access to hygiene supplies, a law library, and private attorney meetings.
President Trump visited and praised the site as a potential national model.
The facility remains open amid ongoing litigation.
