Environmentalists sue to stop opening of ‘Alligator Alcatraz' in Everglades
Two environmental groups on Friday sued to halt the construction of an immigrant detention center in the middle of the Everglades, arguing the state had ignored required ecological reviews.
Florida officials have said that they plan to open the facility, nicknamed 'Alligator Alcatraz' by Republicans, as early next week and that it would hold up to 3,000 detainees.
