A federal judge ordered Florida to halt expansion and begin dismantling parts of "Alligator Alcatraz," prompting Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration to quickly appeal the ruling.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis fired back after a federal judge ordered a two-week stop to construction at Alligator Alcatraz — the controversial immigration detention facility in the Florida Everglades critics say is rife with unsafe and inhumane living conditions — as she weighs claims that environmental laws are being violated.

But the state’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis has a backup plan, and Donald Trump’s administration claims that a federal judge’s order to temporarily shut down parts of the facility — which could become permanent — will not halt the president’s aggressive anti-immigration agenda.
