flag Lawyers demand a surprise visit to Florida’s new immigration jail over access delays and poor conditions.

flag Attorneys for detainees at Florida’s remote "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration center are urging federal Judge Sheri Polster Chappell to conduct an unscheduled site visit to assess legal access, citing barriers like mandatory three-day appointment waits, frequent transfers, and scheduling delays that jeopardize deadlines. flag The facility, built this summer by Gov. flag Ron DeSantis’ administration in the Everglades, faces multiple federal lawsuits over conditions, legal access, state authority, and environmental violations. flag State attorneys oppose the visit, arguing federal judges lack authority over state facilities and citing security and operational risks. flag The judge has not yet ruled, and a prior mediation effort failed. flag Detainees have reported severe conditions, including non-functioning toilets and pests, while President Trump previously praised the site as a model for national immigration enforcement.
