TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Environmental groups filed a federal lawsuit Friday to block a migrant detention center dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz” now being built on an airstrip in the heart of the Florida Everglades.

The lawsuit seeks to halt the project until it undergoes a stringent environmental review as required by federal and state law. There is also supposed to be a chance for public comment, according to the lawsuit filed in Miami federal court.

Critics have condemned the facility as a cruel and inhumane threat to the ecologically sensitive wetlands, while Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and other state officials have defended it as part of the state’s aggressive push to support President Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

I wonder how much they were paid?

Changing the natural food source of these everglades predators to include the protein rich Convicted illegal aliens is a concern.  It could cause bloating and constipation.

Yes, we should all be concerned about the diet of the endangered alligator.

But what about those 15' burmese pythons that are not indigenous to that area?

Will that cause an increase in alligator farts?  It would be bad enough polluting the atmosphere, but if alligators can fart underwater, the damage to the whole eco-system is at stake.
