ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has put a stop to further expansion of the immigration detention center built in the Florida Everglades and dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz ,” ordering that its operations wind down within two months.

Deep in the Everglades, in a patch of swamp surrounded by snakes, alligators and relentless mosquitoes, Florida has opened a makeshift detention center that critics say is unlike anything the country has seen before.
