Florida hid federal funding plans for Everglades detention center, sparking legal challenges.
Environmental groups allege federal and state officials in Florida concealed evidence that the Department of Homeland Security had agreed to reimburse the state for $608 million in construction costs for the "Alligator Alcatraz" immigration detention center in the Everglades, including emails and FEMA confirmation of a grant application.
The documents, obtained via public records requests, show federal involvement began as early as June 2025 and contradict claims made in court that no reimbursement was pending.
The information was not disclosed to the district court, which ruled in August that the facility must close due to environmental law violations.
Advocacy groups are urging an appellate court to reconsider its stay allowing the center to remain open.
The facility, operational since July 2025, remains in legal limbo amid ongoing challenges over environmental compliance, transparency, and legal authority.
